Peck's Skipper
Polites peckius

Observation date: July 09, 2016
Submitted by: Geoff Urwin
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Several Skippers in the yard today. This Skipper was darker than the other individual submitted, but I suspect may be the same species.
Status: Resident
Verified by: alchem30
Verified date: August 01, 2016
Coordinator notes: Good views of both sides of the wings prove this to be a Peck's Skipper. The pattern on the top seems to indicate this individual is a female.
