Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...looks like a female. Sally...you can submit photos of things you have taken from the same area in previous years...always interested to see Edith Checkerspots...if you have time to send them to BAMONA. The idea is to record sightings of not only things in new locations but year over year from ones reported from. Hope you are doing well...Mike
