Leonard's Skipper
Hesperia leonardus

Observation date: July 19, 2021
Submitted by: jmgesell
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The time of year would make sense for a Long Dash, but the very distinct hindwing chevron pattern and the shape of the single more proximal spot is throwing me off. Seems too early for a Leonard's Skipper?
