Coordinator notes: This looks like Common Checkered Skipper. The two other possibilities, Tropical and Desert Checkered-Skippers have a small white spot near the apex of the forewing. This is lacking in the Common Checkered-Skipper. The forewing fringe is also darkened in the Tropical Checkered-Skipper. See pp. 238-239 in Glassberg's "Butterflies through Binoculars--The West".
