My vote is for Woodland Skipper, because it's very common, especially this time of year (late August to October). The Mardon Skipper is supposed to be uncommon and even endangered.
It also looks like a Woodland Skipper and a Sonoran Skipper ... wow this one will be difficult to identify
Hmm, could that little guy be a Mardon Skipper Butterfly?
Skipper ... that seems so much more like it should be called. When they fly, it's quick, and their wings make a brushing, tisking sound ... almost like a cricket.
I have not been able to find this same mushroom again! Tricky little shroom ...
I took this picture while ago, so I don't think I would be able to find the exact spot to check the gills; but thank you for the suggestion! I will look into it.
When I get home I think I will try just what you suggest. I really appreciate the information! thank you!
So cute!!! I love that little guy!
