Images, Facts and Information:<\/h2>\n<p><em>Phyciodes tharos<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pearl Crescent butterflies are small butterflies that have vibrant orange forewings and black-patterned wings, bordered in black, with a characteristic pearly-white crescent marking on the underside of the hindwing.<\/li>\n<li>Pearl Crescents are found throughout most of North America, from Alberta and Ontario in Canada south through nearly all of the United States except for the West Coast, and into Mexico. Pearl Crescents inhabit open areas such as fields, meadows, pastures, roadsides, open woods, and vacant lots, wherever asters, their larval host plants, are present.<\/li>\n<li>Adult Pearl Crescents primarily feed on nectar from a wide range of flowers, including asters, dogbane, swamp milkweed, and shepherd\u2019s needle. Males actively patrol open areas in search of females.<\/li>\n<li>Female Pearl Crescents lay clusters of small, pale greenish or whitish eggs on the underside of aster leaves. Young caterpillars are gregarious, remaining together as they feed on the host plant, then become more solitary as they mature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope you enjoy viewing my Pearl Crescent butterfly photos. <i class=\"fb-icon-element-1 fb-icon-element fontawesome-icon fa-bug fas circle-no fusion-text-flow\"
