California Dogface Butterfly - Zerene eurydice - female

California Dogface Butterfly - Zerene eurydice - Female
Griffith Park, Los Angeles County, California, USA
July 9, 2019
Size: One to two inch wingspan.
On a large Mock Vervain bush bordering a small partially shaded trail, I spotted this brilliant yellow butterfly with a single dark spot on the dorsal forewing. It also exhibited delicate scarlet etching along the edge of the wings and some veining. There is also a distinctive, almost comma-shaped, point on the outside forward edge of the wing. On the same bush a Painted Lady and a Duskywing were also feeding together.
