Coordinator notes: MJ, your lovely photos do a great job of showing that Tropical Least Skipper has expended its range north into Sandoval County. this is a new record for Sandoval County and a northward range extension for this little skipper, which has previously been known along the Rio Grande from Bernalillo County south to El Paso. It may be a temporary colony, or perhaps it is now permanently established there. time will tell.
