Pearl Crescent Very common little butterflies, but I always have to look it up at home to find out whether it's pearl or phaon!  Probably because the phaon has a pearly band across the forewings and the pearl doesn't. Geotagged,Pearl Crescent,Phyciodes tharos,Spring,United States Click/tap to enlarge
