Jutta Arctic
Oeneis jutta

Observation date: July 08, 2024
Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Doesn't seem as patterned as other Chryxus I have seen, which is why I thought Jutta might be possible.
Status: Resident
Verified by: mikefisher

Coordinator notes: Yes...Jutta Arctic as you noted...quite different than the Chryxus...and a good deal better species to find and photograph...flies in even years only like the Chryxus. I don't think this is a county record but certainly a better than average sighting submission! Jutta is being reported from many places, including those east of the Divide in Boulder and I think Larimer County this year so it much be having (or had) an exception flight this year. Mike
