hahaha, same individuals at the same place OK? No way to tell if I was photographing the same individual in this place... there were many and they stopped for a second and flew off so quickly I couldn't follow them ! I'll have another look... thanks
Same individual at the same place and same time = 1 spotting. If not, you can keep them as separate spottings.
thanks. Should I double up some of those fiery skippers, or leave them individual spottings? They moved so fast, not sure if they are the same ones or different ! I know this was is unique as it was in the center of town !
haha thanks bayucca. I almost named it this, but I just wasn't sure... have you looked at any of the other butterflies I posted from Cuba?
Hesperiidae, Hersperiinae, Hylephila phyleus.
