April 24, 2021

I am a Mangrove Buckeye,
If I were Common, I would have white
On my upper hind wings round my eyespots
I'm easy to misidentify. 

(I need to go back and check my past blog entries - I think I have some Mangroves misidentified as Common Buckeyes.)

Location: Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, Bird's Impoundment Trail
