Field Notes

Description:

Quite a large skipper, coloration is dull and gray with distinct five spots making it easy to identify.

Habitat:

Found outside, endemic to the Philippines.

Notes:

Appearance looks very similar to Suastus gremius (Indian Palm Bob), but S. migreus is endemic to the Philippines and S. gremius is only found in some parts of the Philippines.
