Uncas Skipper
Hesperia uncas

Observation date: July 08, 2023
Submitted by: rebeccagracey
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The butterfly was in an open field in Eagle Nest, NM. The habitat had Red Root Buckwheat and Jamesoni Buckwheat in it and there were many Spalding's Blues and Square-spotted Blues in the same field as well as Ridings's Satyrs. There were other Uncas Skippers there, but this one was darker and looked much like a Rhesus Skipper. I wanted someone else to look at it.
