Byssus Skipper
Problema byssus

Observation date: July 24, 2013
Submitted by: Brett Budach
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Fairly fresh-looking individual. I only had my phone, so I had to capture the individual to obtain an ID-able photo. Released after the photo was taken. Submitting mainly because it is rare to find these very far from high-quality grassland/prairie and it is also getting a little late in the year for them.
