Field Notes

Description:

Dark brown butterfly. Slightly clubbed antennae and a furry body. Smooth edged wings with minimal cream colored markings on fore wings.

Habitat:

Found along the edge of a mountain stream. Seen with a orange/black butterfly.

Notes:

Can't figure out what species. Seems most likely to be a Cloudywing (Achalarus, Thorybes) but might also be a Skipper (Cymaenes).
