Least Skipper
Ancyloxypha numitor

Observation date: August 21, 2013
Submitted by: BigMcC62
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Possibly it is a Delaware Skipper, but when I went back the next day to the same spot, I was able to take a photo of the upper wings - see next submission - that appears to be that of a Least Skipper. I think they are the same species, if not the same specimen.
