Chlosyne lacinia and Chlosyne lacinia adjutrix, can you tell me the difference?
Thanks

There's lots of pics of variations of Chlosyne lacinia adjutrix

There's one showing the underwings near the bottom which is close, but it has a couple of extra spots.

Thanks Janet. I'm going to pull out the cd from that month's photos and see if I got any other views of this butterfly. Maybe they will help.
