Juvenal’s Duskywing (Erynnis juvenalis) is a dark brown skipper with mottled gray scaling that gives it a frosted appearance. Its subtle patterning and quick, darting flight make it a classic representative of the duskywing group.
Native to eastern North America, Erynnis juvenalis is found from southern Canada through much of the eastern United States. It is most commonly associated with oak woodlands, forest edges, and scrub habitats where its host plants are abundant.
Interesting Fact:
The caterpillars of this species feed primarily on oaks (Quercus spp.) and construct small leaf shelters, folding and securing leaves with silk for protection while they feed.
This specimen is preserved and is carefully stored in a protective paper triangle, ensuring it arrives safely and is ready for spreading or long-term collection. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
