fiery skipper at Seed Savers Exchange IA 854A6632

Fiery skippers can't survive Iowa winters in any form, and so they re-colonize this cold country every spring from the populations in the southern U.S. Summertime sees their caterpillars feeding on crabgrass here so they can become quite common by September. This one will fly about until we get a hard freeze.
