common buckeye
Its range covers much of North America and some of Central America. Its habitat is open areas with low vegetation and some bare ground. Adult butterflies feed on flowers with certain pollinator cues: yellow flowers that are 'pre-change', or flowers whose color has not been changed due to insect visitation or other factors. Their wingspan is typically between 2 and 2.5 inches (5 - 6.5 cm).
