Coordinator notes: This one is the Taxiles Skipper. The Least Skipper is similar on the upperside but it is a very small skipper by comparison. You might find it in Larimer County where it is wet and with running water and shady along a creek, stream or river and certainly not commonly found in north central Colorado. Keep looking in late June and early July. Mike
