Juvenal’s Duskywing (Erynnis juvenalis) butterflies have been seen out on Owl’s Head. Juvenal’s Duskywing can be found in the Eastern United states and Canada. They produce just one brood a year. Male and females are very similar in appearance, both having brown upper side wings with two to four white spots, but females appear darker in color.
