Aphrodite Fritillary
Speyeria aphrodite

Observation date: October 29, 2021
Submitted by: Christian.Nunes
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I'm assuming this is either a female Aphrodite or Coronis. I'm just not confident enough to make the call. Very worn.
Status: Resident
Verified by: mikefisher
Verified date: December 29, 2021
Coordinator notes: Definitely a very worn female aphrodite...if coronis the spots would be rounder, less elongate and the submargin unsuffused with dark disc-colored scales on the hindwing. This could be a late record...I'll report it and see if that is confirmed (my latest easiest record ref is Oct. 24). Mike
