Zerene cesonia

Observation date: November 18, 2013
Submitted by: Sparks7
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stomlins701

Coordinator notes: The pointed wing edges and dog-face markings showing through the forewing are characteristic of this species. The suggested id of Clouded Sulphur has different markings on the undersides and would only rarely be found as far south as the sighting locale. The BAMONA pages for these two species have pretty good photos that will help distinguish them.
