Suburban backyard garden.
This is the only time I saw this particular skipper all summer. Thanks bayucca for helping with the ID!
Thank you so much! At least it was a female. It seems the males resemble other Skippers more closely.
I am now wondering if there were males around as well. They look so similar to some of the other Skipper species, it wouldn't surprise me at all! I don't know if I have any pictures of them though, I will have to look at my remaining photos.
