Chlosyne fulvia

Observation date: April 13, 2024
Submitted by: Marta Reece
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: At least two individuals were hill-topping on a rather windy day on the summit of a steep peak with a distinct and small summit area. A nearby peak with a more broad, ridgeline type of summit didn't have any Checkerspots, even though it was significantly higher and the wind wasn't any stronger there.

Coordinator notes: Marta this is a nice record. I agree it is Coronado and I hope one day soon that will be an ID option within BAMONA. keep up the good work!
