Garita Skipperling
Oarisma garita

Observation date: August 14, 2022
Submitted by: tjay13
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Submitting another individual we saw very close to the Garita/Edwards. This individual does quite as bright as the other, but could be light. Perhaps this image has a better angle for ID. Did not submit with the other thinking it may be same species not wanting to double up for location.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: August 22, 2022
Coordinator notes: this image shows enough of the dorsal FW to see the dark overscaling that typifies Garita over the more orange Edwards'
