Clouded Sulphur
Colias philodice

Observation date: August 22, 2022
Submitted by: RStankiewicz
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: September 13, 2022
Coordinator notes: Impossible to differentiate C. philodice (Clouded Sulphur) from C. eurytheme (Orange Sulphur) with full certainty having only ventral views, and unfortunately dorsal views are nearly impossible to obtain. With that said, complete lack of any orange visible through the ventral FW favors C. philodice. -jmgesell
