Junonia grisea
Junonia grisea, the gray buckeye, is a species in the butterfly family Nymphalidae. It is found in North America, west of the Rocky Mountains. Junonia grisea was formerly a subspecies of the common buckeye, Junonia coenia. As a result, Junonia coenia is now found mainly east of the Rocky Mountains.[1][2]
