Question Mark Question

[John Calhoun]

Allan,

 

What is the shape of the forewings? Is it more pronounced at the apex
like the winter form? The reason I ask is that John Abbot illustrated an
unusual phenotype in Georgia ca. 1783-1792. This illustration formed the
basis for Plate 11 in Smith & Abbot (1797). The adults have the wing
shape of the overwintering "winter" form.  However, the hindwings are
darker in color, more like the "summer" form. I wonder if such
intermediates are more common during some years.
