Female Calico Pennant (2)

Mature males are distinctive with reddish brown wing markings and a row of red triangles on the abdomen. Females and tenerals have the red largely replaced by yellow and could be mistaken for several other pennants. See Banded Pennant, Halloween Pennant and Martha's Pennant. Carolina Saddlebags has a similar basal spot but is much larger and the rest of the wing is clear.
