Skipper - Thorybes pylades
Missouri, USA
May 25, 2012
Can anyone tell me if this is a Northern Cloudywing or something else? It has only a couple white spots on the upperside of the forewing. But the underside looks as if it could be a N. Cloudywing.

Northern Cloudywing (Thorybes pylades)
In Missouri, you might see Northern, Southern, and Confused Cloudywings. The Northern has white spots on the forewing much smaller compared to Southern and Confused, and the Northern has a dark face compared to the pale face of Southern and Confused.
BTW, there's no need to ruin your beautiful photos by having text over them - your copyright notice is always posted right under each photo :)
