Status: Resident
Verified by: richardhsmith
Verified date: April 27, 2016
Coordinator notes: Forewing not in clear enough focus to see veins, so cannot be absolutely sure on species. Probably spring form C. neglecta, considering very early date, as these appear first, before C. ladon. The specimen is a female.
