Helicoverpa zea
Spotted about 4PM at Gussie Field Watterworth Park in Farmers Branch, TX.
Thanks for the tip! There were so many skippers out that day that I just assumed this must be one also. Thanks again and hope you have a great day!
You are welcome! Some of the day flying moths do look a lot like skippers but you can tell the difference by looking at their antennae - all butterflies have 'clubs' (a thickening) at the end, moths don't have this. Nice photo by the way - I love his little green eye!
How cool! Its wings have a skipperlike shape even though it's a moth. Great face, too.
