Butterfly: Funereal Duskywing (Erynnis funeralis)

The funereal duskywing is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is found from southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, south to Argentina and Chile. The wingspan is 34–45 mm. It features black wings and white hindwing fringes. Its forewing is narrow and pointed, and the hindwing is somewhat triangular. I saw it in the herbs garden in the Huntington Library.
