Observation notes: Butterfly is on rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa) about 3 miles ENE of Oregon Buttes near South Pass Wyoming. Habitat is high elevation sagebrush steppe dominated by Artemisia tridentata and other Artemisia species. The butterflies were nectering on rabbitbrush which was common in the area. In about a half hour on the site I saw 20 to 30 individuals, both pictures are the same individual.
