Euphyes dion

Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: This species is much rarer, and more local, than the Delaware Skipper. Also, the "long grass" that it was flying in was almost certainly a sedge, not a grass. There are two other rare species which also are found in sedge patches; these are always worth searching thoroughly. Ross Layberry
