Thank you Ursula! For my macro shots I use a Lumix FZ40 point & shoot with a Raynox DCR250 macro converter. http://www.amazon.com/Raynox-DCR-250-Super-Macro-Snap-On/dp/B000A1SZ2Y

you've got really nice shots and close-ups of small animals-can i ask you what kind of camera you use? :)

I agree Keith, but the ventral side looks wrong for the Silvery checkerspot (Chlosyne nycteis) & there are no other species of crescent in this area. Thanks Reiko!
