Leonard's skipper (Hesperia leonardus)

It was a treat to see this beautiful fresh Leonard's skipper nectaring on Joe-pye-weed in the BYG today. These strikingly coloured and patterned large skippers are one of the latest to fly in our area, usually appearing in mid-August, give or take a week or two!
