Mormon Fritillary
Speyeria mormonia

Observation date: July 09, 2022
Submitted by: tjay13
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Basing this partly on closed wing white marginal spots. Wondering if veins might be too "swollen" for this species however.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: September 08, 2022
Coordinator notes: definitely Mormon. veins are very thin black lines, not "swollen." also note greenish cast to underside - typical for Mormon. it also should have seemed small for a "greater" fritillary. nice to get this one here.
