Harris’ Checkerspot?
Hello …is this a Harris ’Checkerspot? According to the reference book I have, it ’s not supposed to be this far south. It was seen on the north shore of Lake Apopka in Florida. Thanks much

Hi Lorri,
Your butterfly is actually a Pearl Crescent, Phyciodes tharos. There are more images on BugGuide.
