Euchloe lotta

Observation date: March 16, 2016
Submitted by: JoseBonner
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: A warm, sunny day; a number of Marbles in flight, but none alighted. Fixed-focus partial-zoom click-like-crazy shots without using the viewfinder occasionally capture an individual in reasonable focus!
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: In this area, Euchloe hyantis may also occur and is possibly distinguishable by having a narrower FW bar at the end of the forewing cell than lotta. Dividing them in this region may be contentious.-Ken Davenport
