Green Skipper
Hesperia viridis

Observation date: September 20, 2011
Submitted by: Matt ODonnell
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: October 03, 2011
Coordinator notes: The photos are not definitive, but male viridis perch in gully bottoms while pahaska males perch on hilltops, so it is behaving like viridis. Late September is getting toward the end of their flight period, and this male shows the wear.
