Uncas Skipper
Hesperia uncas

Observation date: May 07, 2022
Submitted by: Joshua C
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Very unexpected lifer, and a first non-historical record for Bernalillo county on bamona. This habitat is different from other foothill spots, it is a juniper-oak dominated foothill area that isn't a canyon but has a good amount of hills. This was feeding on wallflowers with several checkered skippers.
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: It is known from Bernalillo County, but is not regular there, and now BAMONA has a modern record. Cool! thus begins the spring brood for this species.
Checklist region(s): United States, New Mexico, Bernalillo County
