Status: Resident
Verified by: davidwright
Verified date: May 28, 2022
Coordinator notes: This is a female in the Persius group. ID is difficult. I favor E. baptisiae. (Presently, E. persius is only found in scrub oak barrens on Pocono Plateau with stands of wild indigo. E. persius has not been reported on widespread crown vetch as has E. baptisiae.)
