Dun Skipper
Euphyes vestris

Observation date: July 11, 2016
Submitted by: Chet Gottfried
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I noticed the skipper first against a butterfly bush, and by the time I went outside to my backyard, it switched to the false cypress. It stayed about a minute and then exited, so I only had the one view to photograph.
