Phyciodes tharos

Observation date: August 28, 2023
Submitted by: rapids
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: August 28, 2023
Coordinator notes: Impossible to tell with full certainty, however the more heavily patterned wings as well as the time of the sighting would favor P. tharos over P. cocyta. Solid black antenna clubs would confirm P. tharos, however orange tips (like this individual) are nonspecific and not definitive for P. cocyta, and can also be found on P. tharos. -jmgesell
