Draco Skipper
Polites draco

Observation date: June 17, 2025
Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The spotting seems a little less jagged than others I have seen, but I am assuming it is still a Draco; spotting doesn't seem to line up with the Nevada.
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...a female. Yes, the band on the unh (under hindwing) is often slighter on the females than males. The spots on the Nevada Skipper would be reflective silver also. Mike
