Thanks Guys..
Thanks guys. I'd have to agree with the Elada Checkerspot. It's right on the money. JP

Some sort of crescent?
Only a guess; I don't know them well. Checkerspot is another possibility. Here's what is listed for your county:

Graphic Crescent (Phyciodes graphica)
Pearl Crescent (Phyciodes tharos)
Phaon Crescent (Phyciodes phaon)
Texan Crescent (Anthanassa texana)
Tiny Checkerspot (Dymasia dymas)
Elada Checkerspot (Texola elada)
