Billy Beezer's Garden Butterflies |

The Pearly Crescentspot usually shows up once a year in my garden. It flies low to the ground, and doesn't hang around a long time. There are two types of Pearly Crescentspot, types A and B, which may actually be two distinct species. The one pictured at top is a female of unknown type. And if you're wondering, it doesn't have a tail. That's just a dried piece of grass. I have absolutely no idea what the other one is. Its markings are slightly different, and has larger crescents on its hindwing. It has some wing damage, and a piece of grass obstructs part of the picture. Both of these pictures were taken in a field next to Helyar Woods near the Rutgers Display Gardens. |
