Phyciodes batesii, the tawny crescent, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae that occurs in North America.
The upperside is dark brown with orange and the forewing has a pale postmedian band with submarginal bands. The female's black submarginal band has dots. Both sexes have black and white antenna knobs. The wingspan is from 25 to 38 mm. [2]
Adults fly once a year between May and July. There is sometimes a partial second brood in Michigan. During this time the females lay their eggs in groups on the host plants.[ citation needed] The fourth- instar caterpillars hibernate. [1]
