Mexican Cloudywing
Thorybes mexicana

Observation date: July 09, 2022
Submitted by: tjay13
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: More markings on dorsal FW than the previous entry presumed to be Northern Cloudywing
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: September 09, 2022
Coordinator notes: the dorsal markings are all over the place on both Northern and Nevada, and thus of no value. however, I see your geo locator is on a ridgetop, which suggests hilltopping, and it looks like a male so I think you are correct. BAMONA still treats Nevada as a ssp. of Mexican, so I approve this as Mexican.
