Specimen type: Photograph

Status: Resident
Verified by: John Calhoun
Verified date: August 15, 2025
Coordinator notes: Its a form of one of the Vanessa's but I can't tell which...cardui, annabella or virginiensis. I will put it in the unidentified file but keep and treasure that photo. I have a few such examples, 1 cardui and 3 annabella in my years of collecting.
---The ventral hindwing markings and forewing shape suggest that this is an aberrant V. virginiensis. J Calhoun
