of habitats from sea level (including the Central Valley) to 7000',but rarely
seen on the East slope. Many of its colonies are transient, especially at low
elevation where its hosts are often annuals.It often disappears from an area
for years on end, then reappears suddenly. It has, however, been a long-term
permanent <acronym><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; text-decoration: none;">resident</span></acronym>
at Lang Crossing. This is the only small Dusky-Wing with multiple broods--three
at 5000'. This in itself is a valuable aid to identification.</span></div>

fly in circles around patches of the <acronym><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; text-decoration: none;">host plant</span></acronym>.
They are avid visitors to Pink Dogbane and Vetch flowers and often visit
others. They usually occur in the open, along streamsides, in grassland or
rocky balds, but also along roads through mesic mid-elevation forest. There are
differences in details of the wing pattern between the spring and later broods.
