Psyche 
[June-September 
The pattern is similar but much paler on the ventral surface. Most 
of the markings that are black dorsally are brown ventrally. There 
are, in addition, two dark postmedian spots, an elongate one in 
forewing cell Cu2 and a small, round one in hindwing cell Ml. The 
saturation of the red color, and the overall contrast of the pattern, is 
more pronounced among males than among females, especially on 
the dorsal wing surfaces. The red color is noticeably faded on older 
individuals and on old museum specimens.
