Straight Swift

Description:

Hesperiidae; Hesperiinae; Parnara kawazoei Chiba & Eliot 1991. I have been taking photos of Parnara kawazoei for some years now, but it was only a month ago that I discovered, on https://eol.org/pages/20239/articles#Spe... that "These are small, brown skippers that have thin, translucent spots on their wings". I don't know how I managed to miss that important little bit of information for such a long time, but now that I know it, identifying a Parnara should be much easier.

Habitat:

This Straight Swift was spotted on some weeds growing in the backyard of the rice mill.
