Dion Skipper
Euphyes dion

Observation date: July 27, 2022
Submitted by: Christine Stanke
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: July 29, 2022
Coordinator notes: Difficult ID with very worn individual. Originally I was leaning towards a female Sachem with the first photo, however the second photo shows no hint of the classic “chevron” spot pattern you’d expect. The VHW actually appear to have a light central streak which would favor a Dion, and the VFW pattern would also fit. -jmgesell
