It still happens quite a bit for me to not be able to identify a butterfly. This one I first thought was one of the tiny Metalmarks, but all the A-I identifiers puts in in the bigger Skipper family with the leading genuses being Staphylus, Quadrus, or Ouleus, but I still can’t find a match with all my butterfly books and online help. I will eventually post it and hope someone will identify it. Very small, less than an inch wingspan. Here’s three photos . . .
¡Pura Vida!
And it will for now have to go in my GALLERY: Unidentified Butterflies or my Unidentified Skippers, though I’m not totally convinced that it is a Skipper. 🙂
