Coordinator notes: The Pahaska Skipper...can usually be told apart in the Front Range from the Green Skipper (H. viridis) by the separated upper spots of the macular band on the hindwings. They are typically well separated from one another on pahaska and much closer - usually these touch at the edges on viridis. Mike
