Coordinator notes: Thanks for submitting, DeepSkyKelly. In approving this I need to note that Common Checkered-skipper is indistinguishable from White Checkered-skipper. Personally I call them the Common/White checkered-skipper complex, but BAMONA lists them separately and Common is more likely in your area, so I go with that.
