Enodia ID - Pearly-eye help?

[Mark Walker]

Well, my amateur opinion (based primarily on my Georgia specimens) is as
follows:

1.  I'm pretty certain that this is E. portlandia.  White scaling around the
ventral eyespots are one key.  Your orange antennae are another.

2.  This one is harder for me to identify.  My best guess is that you may
have E. creola here.  It does have the extra forewing spot underneath, seems
to be missing the white scaling, and has at least some of the creola
indicators.  It could also be another portlandia.  I don't think you've got
anthedon - the underside color isn't right for one thing.

Hope that's useful,

Mark Walker.
