Observation date: July 11, 2023
Submitted by: Tom Dudones
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: July 15, 2023
Coordinator notes: Difficult to ID with full certainty...however, dark stripe on inner margin of HW appears too thin for pure P. canadensis (less than 50% of space between margin and first vein). That said, FW submarginal spotting looks fused (favors P. canadensis), and dark postmedian line on HW is nearly straight (favors P. canadensis, as P. glaucus would appear more scalloped). With genetic traits of both species, a hybrid/intergrade is suggested. -jmgesell
