Fiery skipper, Buckingham Trails Preserve

BUCKINGHAM TRAILS PRESERVE: The fiery skipper (Hylephila phyleus) lays its eggs in the roots of grasses, which serve as the host plant. Adult butterflies like a variety of habitats, but can be found most often at the edges and in the clearings of forests. Image: © 2014 Erin White
