Field Notes

Habitat:

This Grass Skipper was spotted on unidentified foliage, growing on a turf dyke, in a rice field.

Notes:

When I took the photo, this morning, there were a number of Scrub Hoppers (Aeromachus spp.) on the rice field dyke and I thought this was one of them. Unfortunately, it darted away and I was unable to get an open wing shot which would probably have made identification easier. I have checked all of the Grass Skippers in Philippine Lepidoptera, but cannot find a match for the hairy white femora of the front legs and the white "beard"
