Variable checkerspot? - Euphydryas anicia
El Paso County, Colorado, USA
June 15, 2019
Size: +/- 1.5"
This one is driving me crazy! Having a hard time with the color variation and vein structure of some of the checkerspots. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If this is a variable checkerspot, I didn't see any other Colorado records for this one to compare to.
