Olá J.Qvdo, Como você sabe, não consigo identificar essa borboleta completamente. Então, sugiro que você faça assim: Nome comum - Grass Skipper. Nome Científico - Unidentified Hesperiinae. Depois, claro, a referência na caixa da Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass_skippers Hi J.Qvdo, As you know, I can not identify this butterfly completely. So, I suggest you do it like this: Common name - Grass Skipper. Scientific Name - Unidentified Hesperiinae. Then, of course, the reference in the Wikipedia Box - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass_skippers
J.Qvdo, I am sorry that I cannot ID your butterfly any better than the Subfamily Hesperiinae. I only know that it is Hesperiinae because of its unique "Open-wing" rest position. It is too small in your picture to enable me to see any detail. If you see another one, please try to get closer so that we will have a better chance to ID it properly. Happy spotting.
