Coordinator notes: A nice-a skipper Janeal! We discussed this before I think. We need to determine if it is a year around resident or stray up the river from Kansas. We can determine that probably by time one is seen early in the year and its condition. I have a record from south of Lamar from a couple of years ago in mid-May and it was in very good condition. Another subject: I see you posted the Red-banded Hairstreak from 2005. There are two different butterflies not just one. I haven't confirmed this sighting yet. Did you take photos of the two individuals at the same time or different times? They look almost like two sibling species. Calycopis isobeon is similar so I have to check the possibility both out more carefully. Mike
