Hobomok skipper (Poanes hobomok)

West end of Ottawa. This butterfly has probably only recently emerged, and what a day he emerged in to. It was very cold, blustery and rainy this morning, and he was sitting still on a leaf. Not good weather for butterflies. However, it became sunny as the day went on, so hopefully he'll be OK.
