Mylitta Crescent
Phyciodes mylitta

Observation date: October 04, 2017
Submitted by: Lisahug
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I think there was a male and a female at the ornamental daisy-like shrub. I have 2 separate underwing photos - I think one of each sex. In one photo one is chasing the other. I would think the one in the air would be a male, but it looks like a female to me.
Status: Resident
