Nais Tiger Moth
Apantesis nais

Observation date: September 14, 2009
Submitted by: Ken Childs
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jasondroberts
Verified date: May 07, 2011
Coordinator notes: By all appearances, this is a typical male Apantesis nais, however, often nais/vittata/phalerata are easily confused and best sorted by examination of genitalia. But given that this specimen accurately represents nais, I've accepted it as such.
