Observation notes: Have no Idea what sub species but i'm fairly certain that it's indra, Gave up on this one while hiking on a ridge line Then in came and photo Boomed me while I was taking a photo of Fritillary's on Coyote mint. Windy hot dry lots flying and crawling we were also warned of rattle Snakes on the trail. We were lucky not to see any this hike or this trip. Felt very lucky just to see this but getting a photo was really rewarding!
