Coordinator notes: There was a sizeable influx of buckeyes this year, especially in eastern Colorado. Some looked mixed between Common Buckeye and the Dark Buckeye (J. nigrosuffusa). This one looks like it may have some of that mixture because the hindwings are darker (the orange band toward the margin is only partly expressed) and the light band on the forewings is smaller and smoky pink instead of boldly white or creamy.
