Goatweed Leafwing
Anaea andria

Observation date: March 25, 2020
Submitted by: NMElaine
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Common (but pretty!) flier at this time of year along the Gila River, as well as other non-riparian areas near Silver City.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: July 09, 2020
Coordinator notes: Elaine, this male looks kind of in between Goatweed and Tropical leafwings; too heavily marked for Goatweed but not marked enough Tropical. I'll go with Goatweed, but feel free to submit more pix of these guys (dorsal and ventral). Tropical Leafwings could easily be in the mix down there.
Checklist region(s): United States, New Mexico, Grant County
