Observation notes: Counted six of this species nectaring on thistles and yarrow, patrolling and some chasing and spiral flights. My favorite butterfly spot on Marys Peak. 2.4 miles up Marys Peak Forest Rd from junction with Hwy 34. Sunny in the morning, shady in the afternoon. A small roadside stream and waterfall with a paved pullout. Road cut forested on one side, dry grassy meadow and moist riparian meadow along road cut. South facing granite cliff with lots of nooks and crannies for butterflies to shelter at night.
