Least Skipper For Illinois In August - Ancyloxypha numitor

Least Skipper For Illinois In August - Ancyloxypha numitor
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
August 10, 2007
Data posting for this species in Illinois, for the month of August.

I've seen one just about every day this month, but either they got away before I could get a decent shot, or some other less common Butterfly popped up and had me off chasing it instead. This one was so cooperative that I held out my hand and it landed right on my palm.
