What looks like a new location on CNM for this species, a new one for me. Not many places where this and the Sword-grass Brown fly together

Yes, and just the second CNM record on this range following your 3 Mar 2021 sighting.

There will be other sites up there, weather has been difficult as the area catches storms, higher up than this one was very cool and almost in the cloulds today..

@owenh I believe I found one today at Captains Flat. Confirmed on iNat, hopefully you agree!

@Csteele4 Another nice record for this area. FYI, must note that I am no longer moderating butterflies.
