Hammock Skipper
Polygonus leo

Observation date: October 07, 2022
Submitted by: hgbyrne
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This skipper is seen on my property in the Tucson Mountains most years, in low numbers or even as a singularity. This one was nectaring on lantana along with some zilpa long-tailed skippers and a lone white striped long-tailed skipper. What a great and unusual day to have all three of these species here in the desert!!
