Crescent ID - Phyciodes picta
Copyright © 2009 Heidi Genter

Crescent ID - Phyciodes picta
Cañon City, Fremont County, Colorado, USA
August 10, 2009
Size: ~20mm wingspan
The very pale (and plain) underside hindwing in the thumbnail link makes me think this may be a Painted Crescent, but it doesn't look quite right for that. There were several in this spot, but it may not be the same individual, so I will not link the images. This image shows the top of one of them.
