Female Zabulon Skipper - Poanes zabulon - Female
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
July 28, 2007
Size: Approx. 13/16 in. long
This Skipper was flitting about from one basil bloom to another and even though there were other plants with blossoms inches away, it would keep to the basil. Looking through pictures, I have tentively identified it as a female Zabulon Skipper. I've never seen one from the outside of it's wings, so any confirmation would be helpful.

Thanks!
I'll bet you were readying your comment as I had identified it was moving it to the appropriate guide page. But, thanks for the confirmation. I was pretty sure, but not certain.
