Coordinator notes: Very difficult to discern E. baptisiae (Wild Indigo) from E. lucilius (Columbine), as both are nearly identical and inhabit this region. Usually best distinguished by the amount of white hairlike "frosting" in the apical regions of the FW. This can be very subjective. The apical spotting can also be used - but once again is very subjective.
Jwileyraines and myself agree this individual best fits E. baptisiae - but cannot say with full certainty. -jmgesell
