All 3 of these slightly different individuals were found on the same day in the same two-mile area. This one has very little orange in the DHW compared to the others. Here it is shown perched on it's larval host plant Redberry (Rhamnus crocea).

Very interesting work and photos, John. Really enjoyed it - wonder which DHW type is in the greatest abundance or are they equally distributed! Thanks for the entertainment!! Big vote!
