Catocala ilia

Observation date: May 22, 2011
Date notes: from 8 to 9 in the morning
Submitted by: kapustnica
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: found on a coffee pot, on a sunny day
Status: Unknown
Verified by: kellyrichers
Verified date: June 01, 2011
Coordinator notes: This is very much like the subspecies ilia zoe, which I show from the area in June. Most all other AZ catocala are much later, and the band across the wings is almost definitive for ilia zoe.
