"Anatrytone logan," Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This species lives in many types of moist habitat, such as marshes and residential landscaping. It is active most of the year, producing multiple broods from February to October in warmer regions, and generally a single brood during the summer in northern areas. Adults feed on the nectar of flowers, especially pink and white taxa such as milkweeds, mountain mints, and thistles. The caterpillars feed on grasses such as big bluestem and switchgrass.
