Atalopedes campestris
This skipper is one of our most common and also one of the most difficult for beginners to identify. Males are orange with dark smudges on the forewing underside forming a sort of chevron pattern and an isolated dark smudge in the center near the bottom edge of the wing. Females are duller brown and usually have a weak chevron of paler spots on the hindwing.
