Coordinator notes: I think this is likely an Edith's Checkerspot, not a Chalcedon or Anicia Checkerspot, not sure if subspecies monoensis are tahoenesis because of the bright reddish pattern (too early in season for reddish chalcedona or anicia) and the more rounded forewings. Great find!-Ken Davenport
