Pahaska Skipper
Hesperia pahaska

Observation date: August 09, 2021
Submitted by: sandboa
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I am wondering this might be Pahaska Skipper or a female Sachem? Or some other Hesperia? The white on the proximal edge of the antenna clubs seems to eliminate Sachem.
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: I definitely want this to be H. pahaska and not a female A. campestris, and after looking at it for a while I believe it is. Certainly the environment is correct. It's possible someone will correct this sighting but I think we're right about this.
