Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: What seemed most obvious was the green back, and secondly, the spots on the forewing seemed almost silver (not so obvious on the photo). There were many other obvious sachem on the flowers, but they didn't have this brilliant green back. The skippers were all on Cosmos in an urban yard across the street from a pond.
