Jutta Arctic
Oeneis jutta

Observation date: July 05, 2024
Submitted by: Lycaena
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: No binocular views -- am guessing identification solely from the image uploaded here
Status: Resident
Verified by: mikefisher
Verified date: July 25, 2024
Coordinator notes: Looks like this species...certainly not a Lycaenid butterfly...has all of the underside markings of the Jutta Arctic as I can see them. There have been several other sightings in Boulder County for this Arctic...flys only in even years in high forest habitat (especially Lodgepole Pine). Mike
