Wild Indigo Duskywing

Gary Felton provides us with a Wild Indigo Duskywing this time. It occurs in three broods with gaps in between from late March through November. Closely resembles Horace’s Duskywing which is also flying now. Horace’s is larger and may be distinguished from Wild Indigo Duskywing by the lack of any hint of the paler brown forewing patch typical of the former. Also, in Horaces the dorsal forewing cell typically has a white spot which is absent in Wild Indigo.
