Russet Skipperling
Piruna pirus

Observation date: July 12, 2023
Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I wasn't able to get a good ventral photo, but just from looking it was a very bright rusty color and unmarked. It's just barely visible in the second photo. Kaufman shows the Russet with just a couple of spots on forewing dorsal, but Glassberg shows there can be more.
