Peck's Skipper
Polites peckius

Observation date: August 10, 2015
Submitted by: merrymary
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This was a much smaller one in relation to the previous one, also the markings on it are different. The sky was mostly cloudly. This little critter was not skittish at all and only occasionally fanned his wings when I got closer to it to get the picture. Here its in my zinnias, later it moved over to and sat on my cucumber plant leaf.
