  Sighting 983085

Observation date: June 25, 2014
Submitted by: Ralph S. Carlson
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sunny, cool morning with occasional light breezes. The specimen is the third seen in three days, but the first that alighted long enough for a photo. It basked briefly on a manzanita shrub. So far this season, I have seen few butterflies of any species in the botanic garden, around my workplace, or in my home neighborhood. This specimen appears to have survived a bite on the left wing.
