Weidemeyer's Admiral
Limenitis weidemeyerii

Observation date: July 28, 2019
Submitted by: A_baldini
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Elevation: ~8,880 ft. (montane). Notes: From Kyle Gulch all the way up to this location, Bennett Creek was lined with thick groves of aspen trees. This resulted in abundant Weidemeyer's Admirals all along Crown Point Road. This individual kept landing on my iPhone (which has a bright yellow case) for a couple seconds, then flying away again before returning.
