White-M Hairstreak
Parrhasius m album

Observation date: September 04, 2017
Submitted by: cyric
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: sharonstichter2
Verified date: September 20, 2017
Coordinator notes: The lighting and partially obscured view in the photo make it difficult to distinguish between White-M Hairstreak and Strymon melinus (Gray Hairstreak), in this case. However, a white dot is visible near the leading edge of the HW, and this seems to indicate White-M Hairstreak.
