Double-banded Zale
Zale calycanthata

Observation date: April 17, 2017
Submitted by: ribitzki49
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stomlins701
Verified date: July 27, 2017
Coordinator notes: I believe this is Z. calycanthata because of the white edging along the wing-edge side of the postmedian line and the striations on the wings (not seen in Z. rubiata). The color is more brown than most sighting photos but there is a grayish cast with the brown which is seen in many id'd photos of this species. There is good matching with the following id'd photos on BG. SAT http://bugguide.net/node/view/748765 http://bugguide.net/node/view/1063847
