Northern Crescent

Phyciodes cocyta

I scrolled through 30 or so pages of butterflies to identify this one that I spotted in Lenape Park. I believe it could be a Northern Crescent but I'm going to submit it for positive identification.

I spent the better part of two days shampooing my carpets and I don't want to tell you what the water looked like. But when I returned the machine to the store, I met a remarkable and pleasingly handsome 87 year old gentleman who quite surprisingly shared my interests in cars, design and healthy eating. It was love at first sight for me and as he showed me pictures of every car he ever owned, he told me that his company designed the case that held Elizabeth Taylor's Passion perfume and that they were currently working on a bracelet for the credit card companies.

If I were a free woman I'd be on him like white on rice!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday, it's just beginning to thunder now and I hear rain patter on the air condition.
