Dun Skipper
Euphyes vestris

Observation date: August 16, 2023
Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Another I haven't seen before. Not sure what else it would be, as I don't see others in this region which seem to lack any spotting on the lower wings and that have the more dark, uniform appearance. Though I thought it was really pretty with the sunlight shining on it - it seemed to have almost a coppery color. Feeding on Small-headed Blazing Star in a natural area.
