Clouded Skipper For Illinois In October - Lerema accius
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
October 31, 2008
I believe this to be a Clouded Skipper, but would like some confirmation. I know they resemble a female Zabulon Skipper, but this one just doesn't quite match with the female Zabulons I've seen before. I've got two more images, but I'm not sure they're the same Butterfly, so I'm not linking them together. Actually, I'm pretty positive they're not the same Butterfly, but they might be the same kind. I was only seeking confirmation on those, too.

Move To Guide
I'm going to move this over to the Guide now, but I notice that none have been seen in my area. This one must be the first? I will note that I live way down toward the bottom of Illinois, so that's not very far from where they have been spotted on the data grid. Oh, and thanks for the confirmation!
