Two-spotted Skipper (Euphyes bimaculata) Sullivan County, Pennsylvania
A resident of moist environments flying in marsh glades and wet sedge meadows. Only one brood annually in late June.
Rare species (S1) in most states where it resides. It is a real treat to see one or two. Highly uncommon to see higher counts of this species.
The individual in this series is a bit worn female missing some of the beautiful fringe. The orange wing color is also diminished as it often happens in individuals that have been on the wing for awhile.
