Common Checkered-Skipper (Pyrgus communis) butterfly on Redstem Filaree (Erodium cicutarium, Geraniaceae)
This is a little Common Checkered-Skipper (Pyrgus communis or P. albescens) butterfly working a weedy flower of non-native Filaree (Erodium, Geraniaceae), probably the Redstem Filaree (Erodium cicutarium). You can see a forest of seedpods in the background. (Paradise, Santa Ynez River, 27 February 2015)
