Dun Skipper
Euphyes vestris

Observation date: July 07, 2012
Submitted by: Andree
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I apologize for the stick blocking full view of the skipper's head. But bugguide has confirmed this as a Dusted Skipper at http://bugguide.net/node/view/671221#1187645.
Status: Resident
Verified by: John Calhoun
Verified date: January 02, 2013
Coordinator notes: based on the very dull, dark coloration and lack of any discernible pale scaling beyond the spots, this is almost certainly a dun skipper.
