Submitted by: Paul Prappas
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Originally assumed to be Great Basin Fritillary
Status: Resident
Verified by: Paul Prappas
Verified date: November 13, 2025
Coordinator notes: There are too many fritillaries to identify from only a topside view in that area. The identifying marks are usually on the underside hind wing disks. Zerene, Coronis and Callippe are tough to ID from photos. Or even with butterflies in hand.-Ken Davenport
