Valeriana Skipper
Codatractus valeriana

Observation date: August 02, 2024
Submitted by: Charlie Doggett
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: My Garden, Atenas, Alajuela, Costa Rica
Status: Unknown
Verified by: Charlie Doggett
Verified date: August 08, 2024
Coordinator notes: NOTE: Bamona's location notes do no include Costa Rica but iNaturalist does down through Columbia. Plus the spots pattern on my photo is a better match than the one other photo on BAMONA. --- LATER: 19 March 2025 - I now believe it could be a different species: Naevolus orius which is not in BAMONA now. It is also very similar to Amblyscirtes celia which is in BAMONA, but not as close a match and iNaturalist prefers Naevolus orius which is my preference now.
Checklist region(s): Costa Rica
