Tropical Checkered Skipper

This was seen just outside Roca Verde along 8th Avenue in Barrio Boqueron, though I’ve seen several in my garden in the past. It is the Tropical Checkered-Skipper, Burnsius oileus (my gallery link). I’m seeing fewer butterflies now and, if like last year, that will continue until sometime in May when the butterflies seem to start multiplying again here, with my highest past butterfly counts being in May-September.

The Tropical Checkered Skipper, Burnsius Oileus (my gallery link) is found from the Gulf Coast of the U.S. south to Argentina.
