Gray Copper
Lycaena dione

Observation date: August 08, 2022
Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This lady has had a rough time of it. I'm guessing Purplish over Ruddy due to the later August date. [Also just a non-related question - please advise if there's a general email I should send general non-record questions to! Is there a different coordinator assigned to records created for the Rabbit Ears Pass region of CO? As I set up 4 records, 1331250-1331254 back in early July and you have already reviewed many submitted after this date.]
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: This is a very worn Gray Copper...much larger than the purplish or ruddy. Someone else could have identified some submissions assigned to me. Occasionally BAMONA may think I'm too slow in my verifying submission, so some may go to another verifier. If you want me to look at those, you could send me the sighting numbers, or as links if you can set those up (faster for me to look)...email to: butterfliesofcolorado@hotmail.com You have many submissions for me to verify and I'll get to them as I go. When I start I do the earliest ones submitted first. Sometimes if a submitter only has two or three scattered in dates, I'll do all of them together. Mike
