Chlosyne gaudialis gaudialis

Post by Paul K »

This is another species of this genus I had a chance to collect in Costa Rica. Ch.gaudialis and janais can be found in disturb habitats, mainly meadows in the villages and clearings.

Collecting both gaudialis & janais in one location must have been fun. There are several other Chlosyne species in the US, especially the southwest.
