Elderberry and Crowned Pearls ID request - Anania
Austin County, Texas, USA
May 1, 2024
Three other species of Anania are recorded in iNaturalist in this region but it doesn't appear to be one of these (most similar is Anania plectilis, my original identification). My observation there was identified as "Elderberry and Crowned Pearls, complex Anania coronata, a member of genus Anania". There are 19 observations (as of today) in iNaturalist of A. coronata complex in TX, but this indivdual looks different to me (especially the hindwings; they don't appear to have the pale blotches that the A. coronata complex has). I have no experience with this; would appreciate a confirmation or any additional info - thank you!
