Vesta Crescent I posted this photo on iNaturalist and it is the same butterfly I posted here over the weekend and we thought it was a Pearl Crescent. The ID on iNaturalist is a Vesta Crescent which is very prolific in the Texas area. Fall,Geotagged,Phyciodes graphica,United States,Vesta crescent Click/tap to enlarge
