Least Skipper
Ancyloxypha numitor

Observation date: September 01, 2025
Submitted by: cp2023
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I'm assuming a Least, but as I look at my guide the Duke's Skipper has that dark hindwing with a bit of orange along the edge. The range doesn't make this very likely though (ha, and maybe the field marks don't match either!)
Status: Resident
