Observation date: August 28, 2022
Submitted by: tjay13
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: many present!
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: August 31, 2022
Coordinator notes: T. Jay, BAMONA has added the option to approve this as Gray Buckeye, but this seems to have some characters of Common and some of Gray. NM seems to have genes of Common, Gray and Dark scattered around our state to the extent that hybrids are almost the norm. And your underside pic shows the eyespots really well . . . may I please borrow that image for Butterflies of NM? please advise: sjcary@centurylink.net
