Funereal Duskywing (Erynnis funeralis)

Member of Family: Hesperiidae

French common name: Hespérie lugubre

So far, this is the only individual of this species I've seen in Canada. It is a very rare visitor to Southern Ontario. It is larger than most of our native Duskywings, and the bright white fringe on the hindwing is characteristic. In addition, it is larger than most of our native duskywings.
