Okay...
but how can you tell this from Juvenal's w/o a view of the underwing? Both fly inMay, I believe.

Any hint's'd be appreciated as this is a sticky question!

Hmm
I had thought that the two could be identified based on view of the upperside of the wing. I took a few photos of this specimen from above but was unable to get any of the underside of the wing before it flew off.
