![]() | Most common (but still hard to find) in the lower Piedmont of North Carolina, this male was the first one recorded for the northern mountains. From the underside, a Cobweb Skipper could be mistaken for a well-marked female Sachem New River State Park, Alleghany Co., NC 4/15/06. |
![]() | The black stigma on the upperside of the male is a thin line, totally different from the large rectangular stigma of a male Sachem. Same individual. |
![]() | This male (same as the one at top) was quite tame - doubtless because of the cool (55 F), cloudy conditions. Harnett Co., NC 4/19/2003. |
![]() | A different individual on the same day (we saw 5 males this day). Harnett Co., NC 4/19/2003. |
