Field Notes

Description:

Large brown skipper that liked to stay low in the underbrush and hide in the shade on the underside of leaves. I am not sure if the last picture is of the same species (different sex?), although it had the same behavior.

Habitat:

Sumidero Canyon National Park, River Grijalva, Chiapas, Mexico.
