Submitted by: plex1ppus
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: About four individuals seen. Overall appearance is less heavily marked than most C comyntas we see here, but C comyntas has this second flight midsummer, while C amyntula, to my knowledge, does not. I sent photos to Pyle, Pelham and David James also. What think you?
