Observation notes: Specimens of mine that have survived, or barely so after "carpet beetle" infestations decades ago. I was collecting right atop 8,013 foot Frazier Mountain that day. Speyeria callippe macaria we're very common, many Papilio eurymedon we're hill topping that as well

Coordinator notes: Attn KEN DAVENPORT. I collected this specimen right atop Frazier Mtn and just today nearly 40 years later opened the paper sleeve to identify. I'm 99% sure this is Erynnis persius. If you need to contact myself - jason62us2002@gmail.com. Thank you! JAMES STEEN
