Field Notes

Description:

Tentatively going with Indian Skipper (Hesperia sassacus), but the time of year wasn't quite right, so I wasn't sure. Apologies for the blurry photos, but these little guys are pretty fast and don't sit still for the camera. I would appreciate any professional input!

Habitat:

Garden landscaping, rural deciduous area, Clermont County
