Scientific Name: Phyciodes phaon Common Name(s): Phaon crescent Family: Nymphalidae (brush-footed butterfly) Life Stage(s): Adult Location: Plano, Texas Season(s): Summer
Not to be confused with pearl crescent.
The easiest way to tell the difference is the cream-colored band in the middle part of the forewing, which is found on phaon crescents but not pearl crescents. In general, phaons are also a bit smaller, with wingspans between 1″ and 1½″ (25–38 mm), while pearls range from 1¼″ to 1¾″ (32–45 mm).
The Alabama Butterfly Atlas notes that frogfruits are host and nectar plants for phaon crescents, and pearl crescents prefer asters. I would imagine that these butterflies visit more plants than just their preferred species, but it happens that (though it’s probably hard to tell here) this one is indeed perched on a frogfruit flower head. Similarly, the pearl crescent from my earlier post was resting on an aster plant.

Phaon Crescent Butterflies Absolutely Love the Spring Sun
Phaon Crescent Butterflies Absolutely Love the Spring Sun shows one of these gorgeous spring butterflies warming itself in the afternoon sun.
Sun Worshipper One of our most colorful spring butterflies is the Phaon crescent (Phyciodes phaon). It’s a brushfooted butterfly like the American lady and the gulf fritillary, and it’s usually one of the first ones to appear, so it’s frequently on the wing while the weather is still a little cool, especially at night. Insects depend on the temperature outside (or inside, when they manage to get…

It's the small things.

This is a Phaon crescent butterfly. You can see just how small by comparing to the clover. I saw the butterfly yesterday in my backyard.
"Phaon Crescent Phyciodes phaon - Wingspan: 1 - 1½ inches (2.5 - 3.8 cm). The forewing is dark orange and black with a pale cream band. The underside of the hindwing is cream to yellowish; spring and fall butterflies have a gray hindwing." - alabama.butterflyatlas.usf.edu

Tired of the lawn not growing, the client has chosen to take it out and install Texas native ground cover. 600 Frogfruit installed today. Once established, it never needs mowed, not much water, and is comfortable to walk on even with bare feet. It blooms pretty white dainty flowers which make it a great nectar source, happy in full sun or shade, and is a host plant for the Phaon crescent, White peacock, and Common Buckeye butterflies. What more can you ask for from a “Lawn”!? #SayNoToSodLawns #NativeGroundCover #NativeLawn #WaterSaver #TheNectarBar #PeaceLoveAndButterflies https://www.instagram.com/p/CGWMnobntWn/?igshid=oji4xgxh8koi

Good morning 👋. During one of my #photography outings, I found a little Phaon Crescent (Phyciodes phaon) perched on a blade of grass. For a split second it raised its wings as I was taking a #photo . Its body and head remaind mostly in focus while its wings came out blurred. Perhaps not the best photo to document a species but it came out really funky 😀. Don't you think so? #NikonD7200 #Nikkor105mm , f/7, 1/160s, ISO 160, external flash with diffuser, handheld. If you are interested in this photo, please leave a message below 👇 and/or visit my FB page 'Wings to Fly by Salci'. Thank you 🙌. Best regards ✌. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3EqCfJJq-O/?igshid=ncodg41o4yip

The Phaon Crescent is ' Captivatingly Beautiful
The Phaon Crescent is ‘ Captivatingly Beautiful
On the Grass In Ancient Greek mythology there is a story about an old, grizzled and unattractive boatman who had to take the Goddess Aphrodite across the river. When they reached the other side the old man, named Phaon, refused all payment, so instead the Goddess gave him an ointment that made him young and captivatingly beautiful. That old man later (this isn’t part of the myth) shared his name…
