Submitted by: Selwyn Quan
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: On California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum)
Status: Resident
Verified by: Ken Davenport
Verified date: July 03, 2017
Coordinator notes: If this were a Dotted Blue, I would expect checkering on the forewing wing fringes and for it to be on Eriogonum nudum. Acmon's will use E. fasciculatum.
