Clouded Skipper
Lerema accius

Observation date: October 08, 2022
Submitted by: Charlie Doggett
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: In my yard, Atenas, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica, on a blade of grass, thus very tiny. I narrowed it down to 5 in the Glassberg book and this ID was the closest match. Some live photos in BAMONA and BOA don't have the white "clouded" spots or bars or frosting which I think is necessary for this ID, but I am always ready to stand corrected on Skipper IDs! :-)
Status: Unknown

Coordinator notes: Note my observation notes, indicating I think all brown Skippers are difficult to ID and using the Glassberg book I narrowed it down to 5, then of those this one as the closest match to photos in that book.
Checklist region(s): Costa Rica
