Anicia Checkerspot
Euphydryas anicia

Observation date: July 31, 2015
Submitted by: Paul Prappas
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Unable to get a photo of the underside of this Checkerspot. Not sure it can be ID'd without underside. Assumed it was an Anicia Variable Checkerspot, but there is no white edging on the wing, and there are three whitish spots along the edge of the forewing. The Anicia supposedly has more of a rounded forewing.
