Small butterfly,in the second picture you can see the underside of the wings which is yellow with dots. ID?
Kings' Canyon National Park, in a pine forest
Now with an ID
Thank you Kat Cuff
Thank you Keith Roragen for the ID. I couldn't get a better angle.
Lovely!
One of the Coppers. It is difficult to know which one without seeing the underside. Lilac-bordered seems like a good candidate.http://bugguide.net/node/view/25094
