Sagebrush Checkerspot
Chlosyne acastus

Observation date: March 09, 2016
Submitted by: JoseBonner
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Several individual Checkerspots were active in the canyon within a hundred yards or so of a seep. Wasps were at the seep, but no Leps. This idividual was a bit skittish, and I had to creep up on it from behind a bush; it landed only on rocks and gravel.
