lizosborn's Identifications

In our yard. Slightly worn, large Fritillary. Lightly patterned dorsal marginal band. On VHW, small, widely spaced silver spotting, unlike smaller Hydaspe, Zerene or other frits which have thicker more closely patterned spotting. Also, thick, cleanly delineated band of ground color between VHW margin and basal area.

Hydaspes are quite common in our area. Possible Zerene, but I've never seen a Zerene in our region with this amount of wine-coloring on the ventral HW, and Zerenes have more beige ground color on the ventral side. Here's a link to a Zerene I photographed in the Pend Oreille area.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/14415057
