Dull Firetip - Apyrrothrix araxes
South Fork Cave Creek, Chiricahua Mountains, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
August 16, 2018
Size: 1 inch + or -
After parking my RAV4 at the parking area at South Fork Cave Creek, I followed what serves as a trail since the whole area was altered due to a flood 4 years ago. The first butterfly that I saw was this Dull Firetip.
