Can anybody help with this butterfly ID.
To me it leans toward a female Lethe creola but might just be a female Lethe 
anthedon abberration.  I found several L. anthedon and one of these odd 
ones.  The L. creola shouldn't be this far North from what I can find in the 
books.  But butterflies seldom read those.
