Rayetta’s Butterflies - Nysa Roadside-Skipper
Gimme that Crumby.
That’s right. Rayetta needed the camera to take a picture of a butterfly. And that’s how Rayetta asks nicely. Gimme that Crumby. Mercy!
Anyway, cloudy weather photography with flash is turning out to be kick ass. Here’s a newly documented butterfly, the first new butterfly for the CB in quite a spell, Amblyscirtes nysa. Maybe Hurricane what’s its name is stirring up all these new species for the CB. If so, it’s the first hurricane in Crumby’s long experience that has ever been worth a damn. The CB even got some rain which is unheard during hurricane events in these parts.

My butterfly field guide says that the Phaon Crescent (Phyciodes phaon)has a forewing with a pale cream median band. In your Phyciodes tharos photograph it seems that band is lighter. Is there anything else that you considered when you made your identification?
A very similar butterfly was in my front yard: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50030091@N02/4755622845/

I have made an additional entry in the Too Dark, Use a Flash blog that may help you out.
Sounds good.
