Description: Variable Checkerspot (Euphydryas chalcedona), San Gabriel Mountains, California Finally, the sun was out on my day off! And, butterflies were everywhere getting nectar from one of their favorite California plants: buckwheat. The caterpillar of these butterflies can hibernate for several years in drought conditions (useful for surviving in their habitat--the dry California chaparral). They're about 1.5-2 inches.
