Coordinator notes: I really studied a lot of images in the Glassberg book and believe this is the correct identification which is sometimes difficult with brown Skippers! :-) --- April 2, 2025 - After finding more like this on iNaturalist, I am now convinced it is not Litana but rather Cogia calchas, the Mimosa Skipper.
