"A rarely photographed Philippines endemic! This Flat Skipper (Gerosis corona corona) is our Spotting of the Day! We found only one other tagged online image of a living specimen for this skipper (family Hesperiidae, sub-family Pyrginae or spread-wings skippers). Project Noah member Leana Lahom-Cristobal spotted this beauty in a forested area near a water source in the Aurora National Park. Leana is a founder of Philippine Lepidoptera".
