Dainty Sulphur
Nathalis iole

Observation date: April 20, 2023
Submitted by: billd
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I was only able to get this one ventral shot. There doesn't seem to be a match in Glassberg's 2017 guide?
Status: Resident
Verified by: Emily Geest
Verified date: May 01, 2023
Coordinator notes: Dainty sulphurs can have some coloration variation that comes from developing in cooler temperatures/shorter photoperiods. Alternatively, it just may be older and the color has faded some. But the wing shape/wing angles/overall size all are indicative of a dainty.
Checklist region(s): United States, Oklahoma, Garfield County
