Checkered-skipper

Pyrgus sp.

Description:

I'm not confident past genus due to the overlap of a couple of different species. I'll take any suggestions. (my guess is Pyrgus communis)

Habitat:

Urban park

Notes:

I knew immediately that this was a species of skipper that I had not seen before. I had to be patient to get these shots because it was slightly nervous about my movements. Luckily, it kept coming back to this clump of flowers.
