Obscure Skipper (Panoquina panoquinoides)
This denizen of salt marshes is related to the Salt Marsh Skipper, which has a white streak instead of Obscure's three white dots (one single, two paired). Obscure Skipper ranges along the immediate coast from the West Indies and Florida to Texas and on to South America. Freeport, Grand Bahama, The Bahamas 6/21/2010. | |
