Skipper

Potanthus omaha

A lot more choices today, but I liked this image the best.

Before I started researching butterflies, I had orange skippers, brown skippers and two tone skippers. But, now as I sift through all my skippers to put them into identified folders, I find that the orange skippers need to be broken down into several other species, but once again, finding reliable information spoils the day and takes the fun out of butterfly photography.

The above ID is hardly reliable, but is close. You do a Google search on potanthus Omaha and you get images of half a dozen different species. What a pain! Still, looks pretty though.
