Checkered White on Bur Marigold (Bidens aurea)
Checkered White on Wire Lettuce (Stephanomeria pauciflora)
And more on spots from Fred Heath:
Some of butterflies (and moths) with eye spots will mostly keep them hidden until attacked and then opening the wings startle the predator for a second and enabling the lep to escape. More info on eye spots in this brief article and short ( less than 2 minutes) video with praying mantis attacks from an Ohio State University study.
