Nevada Skipper
Hesperia nevada

Observation date: June 28, 2024
Submitted by: twofried
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Unable to get VHW pic but based on other features and elevation, I believe this is Nevada
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: July 01, 2024
Coordinator notes: I like your reasoning. The only other likely fold-wing skipper up there at that time would be Draco Skipper, which has a big fat black stigma, unlike this one. I've never had such a clear view of the FW underside - may I please borrow that pic for BONM?
