Speyeria aphrodite

Observation date: August 11, 2022
Submitted by: RLS
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: August 12, 2022
Coordinator notes: I think this individual favors S. aphrodite over S. cybele based on the presence of a black basal spot on the dorsal FW, lack of a darker central wing coloration, and on the ventral view, what appears to be a narrower submarginal pale band between the rows of white spots. -jmgesell
