Submitted by: mashoop58
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Steve if you could please look at this. The AI said it could possibly be a Cobweb Skipper. I understand from your website the Sachem is often misidentified so I appreciate you looking at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/137345104 has additional photos but basically all same angle
Status: Temporary Colonist

Coordinator notes: thanks, Mike. there is a similarity of patterns, but Cobweb does not occur in NM and this fits female Sachem perfectly.
