Pearly-Eye Help Page
All three of these pearly-eye species are the same size and can be easily
confused with one another. Remember habitat will have some consideration also.
The only place all three are found is Raven Rock State Park and in the piedmont
at certain times. If your in the coastal plain then southern and creole would
generally be the ones you see. In the foothills or mountains then northern
would be a good bet. Please try to get the field marks listed below!
