Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: on this one the dorsal hindwing is too lightly marked to be Pearl, in my opinion. now that Pearl has been found in your general area, distinguishing the two will be an ongoing challenge, which you can meet by getting multiple shots/angles/etc.
