Comstock's silverspot
Comstock's silverspot is a subspecies of silverspot butterfly ranging from northern California to Baja Mexico. Populations are near extirpation in the Santa Monica Mountains and it is now rare in the San Gabriel Mountains. The larvae feed on Johnny jumpup. It is a very close relative of the endangered callippe silverspot butterfly, which is another subspecies of Speyeria callippe. Intermediate populations between these subspecies are fairly widespread.
