Sachem
Sachem is a species of skipper butterfly with a lot of variation in colors. I think this is a sachem based on size and coloration. Some of the skippers are difficult for me to confidently identify. They like the wildflowers in our area. In May 2020, we had a good variety of blooms because there had been some rains in the previous month (April showers do bring May flowers). Wish we had some of that rain not that it is August and we have had blistering heat and no rain for weeks.
