Edwards' Fritillary
Speyeria edwardsii

Observation date: July 16, 2023
Submitted by: ezeemonee
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Near St Peter’s Dome Trail. Sunny day in the 70’s F between 9K-10K elevation. Not familiar with CO Fritillaries so open to ID inputs on this one. It was very worn but there was a mint one nearby that I wasn’t fast enough to get a pic of but it had very similar wing patterns.
Status: Resident
