Fulvia Checkerspot
Chlosyne fulvia

Observation date: June 25, 2023
Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Pretty straightforward, though I don't see any orange on abdomen--which is mentioned in both Kaufman and Glassberg. It looks like males have less orange on the abdomen...correct?
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: orange on the abdomen? yes, I guess it does get mentioned, but perhaps only helpful where there are similar species to differentiate. there aren't any other options in your area that I know of.
