Coordinator notes: I just had a new EARLY flight record submitted by David Bartholomew for 26 May. Yours is even earlier. I will publish this in the Season Summary as well. Everyone loves Unsilvered Fritillaries though atoosa being a zerene was unexpected. I have experience with subspecies adiaste and clemencei....atossa was before my time. I have seen the entire series of atossa at the LACM-Ken Davenport.
