Common Sootywing

I went searching for butterflies, skippers, etc, on Mingus Mountain near Jerome yesterday. Fabulous day but it was cloudy and windy so the species were few and far between. Here is one lucky shot for me since the tiny daisy was swaying back and forth. The one inch Sootywing was common to my fellow butterfly hunters but new to me (Common Sootywing). Of course, most of them are 🙂

    Of course what I notice are the glandular-stipitate trichomes on the involucre. (Look THAT up in your Funk and Wagnall’s!)
