?Ovipositing on grass balde. Very common in open grassy areas, even in winter. Sits on dirt paths and in short grass with wings open, easy to photograph if approached quietly and will settle nearby if disturbed. Takes nectar from weeds like dandelions, blackjack and khakibos. |

They do oviposit on grass, but the larvae move off to the specific foodplant once they hatch. The foodplants are often so small that they cannot be found at all. |
