Submitted by: seemayer
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: sorry about crummy pic. the yellows and whites never stay still enough to take a good photo. It is on a lanceleaf coreopsis.
Status: Resident
Verified by: James Steen
Verified date: June 04, 2023
Coordinator notes: Yes the yellows especially are not kind to pictures. I actually had a male Eurema mexicana in my yard last summer and it absolutely refused to allow me to take pics about 7 times to verify for this site. This is definitely a female of C. philodice. Thank you! JAMES STEEN
