  Sighting 1181693

Observation date: May 10, 2018
Submitted by: sandyleapt
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Perched on Colinsia grandiflora. The moth's antennae look white in this photo, this is due to light being reflected off the antennae, they were actually dark. Same place where I photographed sighting 1176651 Glaucopsyche lygdamus. This is approximately 1/4 mile from where I photographed pending sighting 1176986 of Adela. I did go back to site where I took photographs for this sighting and pending sighting 1176986 (in August 2018) and located a few Holodiscus discolor shrubs, which are listed as the host plant for these moths. Did not find any larva. I will keep checking.
