Moon-marked Skipper (Atrytonopsis pittacus)

Around Home, Texas Canyon, Dragoon, Ariz

The Moon-marked Skipper's range is central to southeastern Arizona (Also NM).

I had to look this one up and hope I am right on the I.D. It has very unique pattern and coloring.
It is a first sighting for me, it is very beautiful and I was fascinated by it.

Canon EOS 30D ,SIGMA 150mm f/2.8 APO Macro DG HSM EX
1/250s f/7.1 at 150.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
