| Phyciodes phaon (W. H. Edwards, 1864) |
| Status: Uncommon to common local stray (possible resident) |
| Flight Period(s): Flies all year in southern Texas and Florida. In Nebraska early arriving females may produce three broods. Nebraska records are from 28 May – 23 September. |
| Range: This species is at home from Guatemala north to southern portions of the United States. In Nebraska records are few, but are widespread. |
| Larval Hostplant(s): Fogfruit (Phyla lanceolata). |
| Overwinter: Larvae overwinter. |
| Commentary/Habitat: This species has begun to show up at some locales in southern Nebraska on a fairly regular basis, raising the question as to whether a few are surviving winters there. They are usually found in the proximity of water where their hostplant grows on the banks. Once located at such a site, check back periodically for subsequent generations. They occasionally become common by late August. |
