Status: Resident
Verified by: mikefisher
Verified date: September 18, 2015
Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct. When you take photos of fritillaries, try to get as square a shot as possible at the underside of the hindwings. Some (like mormonia) can be ID'd from the upperside but some can look almost alike above as you probably know. Mike
