Also,
The photos of the Northern Oak in Bugguide do not show a white 'spot' on the near center of the hindwing, as this one in my photo shows, and which is shown in my book as being on a "Southern". However, the Southern shows more orange (in the book).

Do these Butterflies cross-breed? Or vary in such things as having a color spot or not?

David...
My book, Kaufman Focus Guide, Butterflies of N America, says the "Northern is: Styrium favonis ontario....would that be correct, with the "ontario"?
