Arogos Skipper
Atrytone arogos

Observation date: July 10, 2026
Submitted by: Kansasbirder
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Noticed this little guy but couldn't get very close. Noticeably small and noticed the grayish white fringe that was noticeably different than the much more common Delaware Skippers I'm used of seeing when it comes to unmarked yellow skippers. I have no experience with either of the listed suggested species
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: Agree it’s not a Delaware Skipper. I think Arogos is the best fit. Second consideration is a male Huron Sachem, but I can’t make out any identifiable markings, which favors Arogos. Nice find! -jmgesell
