Phaon Crescent
Phyciodes phaon

Shari and I had a bit of a debate about the ID of this beautiful little crescentspot, but I'm pretty confident that it is a Phaon Crescent instead of the more common Pearl Crescent. Either way it was very amicable and let us get a ton of shots - but no ventral ones that would help end the debate.

Pearl Crescents are surprisingly variable, but not quite that variable. I'm not familiar with the Phaon, though. Great photograph.
