It is the only butterfly in the subfamily Pyrrhopyginae that occurs in the United States. They usually perch with their wings fully or partly open. Adults are very fond of flowers. Their flight is direct and quite fast, usually flying high above trees.[2] DescriptionThe upper side of the wings is brown with the fore wings having several glassy white spots. The underside of the wings is brown with the body and basal area of the wings bright yellow-orange.[2] HabitatThe Dull Firetip lives in habitats such as southwestern oak woodlands.[2] FlightAdults may be seen from August to November (they are most common in September).[1] Life cycleThe larvae live in a folded-over leaf nest. The yellow-banded larva is red-brown with white-hairs. The head is black with white and orange hairs. The pupa is brownish-red with maroon joints and the abdomen dull orange. It is covered with white hairs (except on the wing cases) and has orange hairs on the top of the head. The partially grown larva builds a small nest on the host plant where it will overwinter.[1] It has 1 brood per year.[2] Host PlantsHere is a list of host plants that the Dull Firetip uses:
