Hesperia viridis

Observation date: July 04, 2023
Submitted by: tjay13
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Not a great photo to work with, lost this one after 2 shots. Ventral HW row of white spots seem to be more concave which seems to suggest Green skipper. Slightly above PEEC guide upper limit of 8000' though. But patrolling roadside ditch also seems to fit.
