Broken Dash - Polites otho - Female
Edwin B Forsythe , Atlantic County, New Jersey, USA

Size: Thumbnail
Southern Broken Dash has never been recorded in New Jersey.
Note that the FW fringe is buffy and the HW fringe is gray. All the guides speak to this as being a feature shown by Southern Broken Dash.
Is it possible that this feature is also something a Northern Broken Dash could show?
