Green Skipper
Hesperia viridis

Observation date: June 14, 2024
Submitted by: twofried
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Not sure about this one though definitely different from the Green/Pahaska's also present. Large white spots with darker border on VHW and spot pattern looks okay?
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: June 15, 2024
Coordinator notes: I agree, it's a little odd, a little more contrasty than normal, but the spot shapes and locations match best with Green. Juba, for example, has the bottom HW spot displaced basally,
