Observation notes: My first experience with western fritillaries. I would say this was medium sized. Flying with Blue and Ruddy Coppers

Coordinator notes: This appears to be subspecies platina. Yours appears to be the lighter version which went under the name pfoutsi until made a synonym of platina. This coordinator was observing that same butterfly in the Mt. Nebo area last July 13th.
