Thanks Dean. I've never seen one. They are mostly in Western MA. I think
the images I've seen of them had more eyespots but suspect that is variable.
I always have the disclaimer as have NE Mass blinders on as I almost never
study those elsewhere as major interest is in photography not the critters per
se. I'll ask about them at the next outing.
Seems not an uncommon error:

I'll be gunning for Bronze coppers on our native asters--a great shot though it
takes a good bit of luck. Our drought can't be helping, so seems chances may
be slim. Second flight usually starts about now.
