A mix of skippers in reverse chrono-order, 2009 - 2007, and a few earlier. Trying to learn this tough group.

Jack Connor > Female zabulon skipper, Poanes zabulon, Huber/Prairie Warbler Reserve (near Parker Preserve) north of Chatsworth, 5/27/09.
Jack Connor > Same individual female zabulon as previous photo, 5/27/09.
Jack Connor > Dun skipper, Euphryes vestris, Dennisville RR tracks 5/23/09, So Jersey Butterfly Club field trip. First of 2009.
Jack Connor > Wild indigo duskywing, Erynnis baptisiae , a very worn individual, Dennisville RR tracks in Woodbine, 5/23/09, So Jersey Butterfly Club field trip.
Jack Connor > Rare skipper, Problema bulenta, at Honey & Sweets Farm, Port Republic, during NABA count, 7-12-08.
Jack Connor > This and two following photos are apparent male dotted skipper, Hesperia attalus, at Parker Preserve, 6/28/08, same white sandy field with sandwort that I photo'd several dotteds last year. This individual so worn it is hard to ID.
Jack Connor > ID of dotted skipper based primarily on pattern on hind wing with larger backward facing spot nearest base of wing then arrangement of other dots (faded on this individual) around it. Spots on forewing also match dotted (at least it seems to me).
Jack Connor > Same individual as previous. This photo shows opposite side (left) of hindwing -- demonstrating that the pattern on right side is not just odd wear.
Jack Connor > A series of views of two-dotted skipper, Euphyes bimacula, at Klots' Bog, Lakehurst, NJ 6/24/08. Fun to see!
Rare skipper, Problema bulenta, at Honey & Sweets Farm, Port Republic, during NABA count, 7-12-08.
