Observation date: May 19, 2012
Submitted by: plex1ppus
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This rather poor angle seems to show a very boldly marked female. What do you think, Steve?
Status: Unknown
Verified by: stevekohler
Verified date: June 18, 2012
Coordinator notes: Though wing surfaces are at a poor angle, enough distinguishing characteristics are visible to make a positive ID. This is the first documented ocurrence of this species in the state and thus is a new state record for Montana! Note to plex1ppus, can you give me your name so that this record can properly be cited?
Checklist region(s): United States, Montana, Mineral County
