Common Streaky Skipper - Celotes nessus
Pima Canyon, Santa Catalina Mts, Pima County, Arizona, USA
March 11, 2008
Size: 2 cm
Checked my butterfly books, but this one I can't find. Hope a butterfly expert will be able to ID. The area had alot of AZ Powdered Skippers flying as well --- Oops, I found it, I think - Celotes nessus, Common Streaky Skipper. Confirmation would be helpfull.
