The top specimens is the neotype of Asterocampa celtis (Hackberry
Butterfly) from Burke Co., GA.  The lower one is a typical male A.
reinthali (Florida Hackberry) from Charleston, South Carolina.  The two
species differ in several ways - including larval morphology.  Reinthali is
occasionally found at the type locality of celtis.

Both individuals are typical sized and appearing males.
