Green Skipper
Hesperia viridis

Observation date: August 28, 2021
Submitted by: Joshua C
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Hopefully this can be ID'ed from this shot. I assume this is a green skipper since that is the species I have see most at this location, and this photo wasn't taken at a hilltop. This was seen on a rock in the upper part of the canyon where it is very narrow compared to the rest, but still technically seen at the canyon bottom.
