Thanks for the confirmation, Mark. Can anybody shed some light on the latest
opinions on the Junonia "nigrosuffusa" (Dark Buckeye) classification? Here in
Nuevo Leon, Mex., there is a continuum from white to the dark chocolate Mark is
seeing. Larger bugs sometime tend to be more chocolate than smaller ones, and I
also wonder if this is not related to dryness, too...Doug.

These were definitely Junonia, and very dark chocolate brown. I saw
individuals on short walks up in Refugio Co. also. It's pouring down rain
today in Houston.
