Zabulon Skipper
Poanes zabulon

Observation date: August 20, 2023
Submitted by: Chet Gottfried
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The female Zabulon skipper was flittering about my black knight butterfly bush, first trying one bunch of flowers and then another. She moved back and forth from shade to sunlight. (A week or so ago I had a male Zabulon skipper here; I thought I had submitted a report but probably forgot to press a crucial button.)
