The Great Basin Ringlet (Oeneis nevadensis) is a softly colored butterfly with pale tan to grayish wings marked by subtle eye spots and fine patterning. Its muted tones provide excellent camouflage against rocky and grassy landscapes in its native habitat.
Native to western North America, Oeneis nevadensis is found throughout the Great Basin and surrounding regions, including parts of California, Nevada, and the interior West. It is commonly associated with open, dry habitats such as sagebrush steppe, foothills, and montane meadows.
Interesting Fact:
This species is adapted to harsh, dry environments and often flies close to the ground, using its cryptic coloration to blend seamlessly with its surroundings and avoid predators.
This specimen is preserved, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
