Char, here's one from last fall. I was raising dozens of them and had taken a bunch of cats to MOSI. We had a good patch of frogfruit growing by the road in front of my neighbor's house. He agreed not to mow it, so naturally, the county folks came by about three days later and mowed it all the way down. I mean, they scalped it. The whole thread had to listen to me rant and rave. And I'm still mad about it.

Anyway, you can see the Phaon Crescents here have a lighter band on the top wings, but it's not white like the one in your picture.
