Coordinator notes: This species had not been seen ever on Yosemite Butterfly Counts. Why? Because they often don't appear until very late in the day after the count ends for the compilation. I documented that at Mono Lake Park a few days ago. These are widespread but infrequently seen!-Ken Davenport
