Another dull brown skipper is made interesting with the addition of color – in this case a simple rim of yellow. To see him from different angles and postures, see other shots in my gallery: Yellow-rimmed Skipper, Aethilla lavochrea (linked). Here’s just one shot for now, from my garden in August . . .
¡Pura Vida!
The Yellow-rimmed Skipper, Aethilla lavochrea (my gallery link where I have more photos from other sightings) is found from Mexico through Central America to Columbia, thus a mostly Central American butterfly and Costa Rica is central in it’s range. Evidently not many people are seeing and photographing this species, since most websites that even include it, have only 1 or 2 photos. Plus at butterfliesandmoths dot org all the photos are mine except for 1. 🙂 Here’s 3 photos from this April 2024 sighting . . .
