skipper on morning glory. - Lerema accius
Knoxville (IJAMS Nature Center), Knox County, Tennessee, USA
August 18, 2008
My mom was taking pictures of some morning glorys at the IJAMS Nature Center in Knoxville, Tennessee and this skipper landed on one of them and she took a pic of it. I would love to identify to species although I know it is kinda hard with skippers. Any info would be appreciated.

Check Clouded Skipper
The book says the cell spot is an indicator. Looks close to me. The range looks close, too.
