Megisto rubricata
Little Wood Satyr
Megisto rubricata, the Little Wood Satyr, is a small to medium-sized satyrine butterfly found in eastern North America. The species was originally described by William Henry Edwards in 1871 and has been transferred to the genus Euptychia in some taxonomic treatments, though Megisto remains widely used in North American literature. Adults are characterized by their brown coloration with distinct eyespots on the wings. The species inhabits woodland edges and openings where its larval host grasses grow.
