Ochre Ringlet, Coenonympha sp.
<LEP161>
The main color of this brightest ringlet is ochre, i.e.,
a rich, reddish-gold. The upper side
is all ochre, as is most of the forewing below. Its tip beyond the yellow-ringed black eyespot is grayish. The hindwing is olive-gray, except for the
buffy lightning-streak across it. The
Ochre Ringlet is very abundant in the Rocky Mountains. |
