Russet Skipperling
Piruna pirus

Observation date: July 01, 2021
Submitted by: twofried
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Pretty sure this is the same kind of bug that I also labeled Roadside-Skipper. Again, abdomen extends beyond wings. Coloration and white spot pattern on forewing seems okay for one. Spreadwing posture again confusing if a Roadside-Skipper.
