Status: Stray

Coordinator notes: Your ID as a Snout is correct...which one (of the two we find in Colorado) is somewhat subjective...bachmanii or larvata? Cannot fully determine sex on this one but if a male I have to go with L. bachmanii...the spot on the edge of the forewing is touching the other two below. On larvata males it is separate but it is not so clearly defined between the females. Mike
