Mylitta Crescent
Phyciodes mylitta

Observation date: August 30, 2024
Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This has a wide black spot on middle inner margin of FW, as Glassberg points out for Pale Crescents. But as this is not in range for Pale, I think I'm understanding that Mylitta can have that wide black spot where the two ranges *don't* overlap.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: September 04, 2024
Coordinator notes: I interpret it the same way; that black bar is not exclusive to Pale Crescent.
Checklist region(s): United States, New Mexico, Colfax County
