Zerene Fritillary
Speyeria zerene

Observation date: July 14, 2016
Submitted by: Kristie Nelson
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: These were absolutely abundant this day. A few hrs of butterflying, I estimated >100. Having a hard time ID-ing. They DID NOT seem small, otherwise they could be egleis (which they may be, but they were larger types). Help! Sorry to include 2 pictures of not the same individuals - but probably same spp.
