Observation date: September 01, 2016
Submitted by: rocksnstars
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: rosslayberry
Verified date: September 14, 2016
Coordinator notes: There is no black spot in then large rectangular forewing cell, which Aphrodite has. And notice that on the right wing, the vein which delineates that spot has a large kink in it; very unusual. I justy changed the ID. You brightened images clearly show the black spot, making it definitely an Aphrodite. Ross
