Colias eurytheme

Observation date: September 01, 2024
Submitted by: SnowshoeLane
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Stopped to check out the Blazing Star plant in pollinator garden. Cool sunny breezy day.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: September 05, 2024
Coordinator notes: C. interior would not have the submarginal dark spotting seen on the FW and HW, and usually lacks the "satellite spot" next to the main central spot on the HW. It also would not have any hint of orange coloration, all of which is classic for C. eurytheme. The pink highlights are nonspecific and are seen on most Colias species. -jmgesell
