Woodland Skipper
Ochlodes sylvanoides

Observation date: August 12, 2015
Submitted by: bobscafe
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Flitting about from flower to flower, would fly off then return to same plant. Warm sunny day with strong winds, and lots of smoke from Local forest fires, plus those in state of Wa. The Skippers seemed to be staying close to the ground, to avoid the smoke. (???)
