Observation date: July 25, 2014
Submitted by: b.cn.u
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: same butterfly, one side I can clearly see a bullet on the lower wing, but in the sunshine facing the other way, I can't make out the same bullet, it seems to fade away or disappear. I rechecked my notes, this is the only specimen of this kind I was photographing this day, I also got a Fritillary today.
