Submitted by: MelissaKoch
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Unknown
Verified by: curtis.lehman
Verified date: September 20, 2012
Coordinator notes: Melissa, this is not a variegated fritillary larva. Color pattern is wrong, and it lacks the defensive tubercles of that and related species. I'm not sure what it is, but the hairs suggest a moth of some kind.
