Smoky Rubyspot wing color variation
Photo 1: The individual at right was photographed in June 2003 in Travis Co., Texas. This is apparently a typical wing pattern for many individuals in summer.
Photo 2: The individual at right was photographed in June 2003 in Gonzales Co., Texas. Note the solid colored wings.
Photo 3: This one was photographed 20 November 2003 in Gonzales Co., Texas. I saw another half dozen that displayed wings of this pattern.
Photo 4: The rubyspot shown here was photographed at the same time and place as #3 above but showed more dark in the wings.
