Orange Sulphur
Colias eurytheme

Observation date: August 24, 2014
Submitted by: PeterJLT
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Warm summer's day at Belknap Springs
Status: Resident
Verified by: Ken Davenport
Verified date: August 25, 2014
Coordinator notes: I am assuming the upperside was an orange color. Other species in that county are similar but yellow above. Based on date, I chose Orange Sulphur. At an earlier time in the season, I would have to reject the submission. Please include such coloration observations in the future. I can make an identification without that with Sulphurs-Ken Davenport
