Southern Broken-Dash
Wallengrenia otho

Observation date: July 30, 2023
Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I know it's not currently listed under Rutherford County, but isn't this too colorful/orange for the Sachem? (and both male and female are too colorful with not enough spotting?) And there seems to be too many markings on the one at least for the Delaware?
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: You are correct on ID. I was a little thrown, especially by the rich color but that did help me eliminate quite a few as did actually having a male/female to see. Even though this species is not listed for your county it would be expected to occur as a resident. Thank you! JAMES STEEN
