Coordinator notes: Correct - Polygonia gracilis - in Colorado aka Polygonia zephyrus. Thanks for the observation. Coordinator note: I think the current arrangement of names places zephyrus as the western subspecies of gracilis although some may consider it separate. The two are shown as two different species in the selection drop-down list. Mike
