Orange Sulphur
Colias eurytheme

Observation date: June 18, 2023
Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The eyespot on the upper wing is distinctly round, which resembles Glassberg's Southern Dogface a little, but the wing tips aren't pointed, and I think there was a big of orange tint on the upper wings when it flew. Is there a lot of variation in the eyespot? I might be getting carried away with Glassberg a bit. Still learning.

Coordinator notes: Glassberg pinpoints some characters that others miss, so he offers a new perspective. good to have access to both and use them both.
