Coordinator notes: Eye color can be very subjective between the Aphrodite and Great Spangled. The pale SM band on the ventral surface of the HW extends fully to the PM line of spots, and you can see thickened horizontal veins - termed "overscaling" - on the FWs, along with a darkened basal region and lack of a FW basal spot usually present on an Aphrodite and Atlantis. These are classic ID features of a Great Spangled. -Jeff Gesell
