Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Only saw it briefly, so not a great photo

Verified by: mikefisher
Verified date: August 31, 2025
Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...I think I explained before that genetics points to the Rocky Mt. populations being a separate species (flavula) and palla restricted to the far western US? So we could tag ours with the common name, "The Rocky Mountains Checkerspot." Mike
