Anatrytone logan
Order: Lepidoptera Family: Hesperiidae
Open field surrounded by forests. It is an overgrown sandhills area and needs a good burn. Not much vegetation except for sparse trees and small plants such as this one the Skipper is on.
Picture was taken at the Econlockhatchee Sandhills Conservation Area.
Also Musicwolf it probably is the lighting. I didn't alter the image except for cropping. Thanks Sam10! :)
Thank you so much Musicwolf. Did you find the other skipper in my collection? I can't wait to look at the others and see what they are. Thanks again! :)
Not a Meske's because it lacks the post-median spot band (usually shows a little lighter yellow on the underside). Not a Fiery because it lacks the darker spots on the underside of both wings. This appears to be a Delaware, although it is a little darker than most - the most common skipper that lacks virtually all markings except the tan fringe on the underside. Beautiful photo!
Welcome to Project Noah, Rosa Maria,
I hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore:
I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into:http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
