Mylitta Crescent
Phyciodes mylitta

Observation date: July 19, 2019
Submitted by: BillBradford
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This butterfly was quite worn and faded. It was first on the grasses close to the ground, then moved to goldenrod. I'm guessing it's a female Mylitta Crescent, but I've never seen one this light. It was a sunny day in the 70s.
