Malicious Skipper at NBC, 12/31/12

This Synapte skipper at the National Butterfly Center had us doing research to try to turn it into salenus but it seems to be the expected malitiosa.





Other good stuff included Red-crescent Scrub-Hairstreak Strymon rufofusca.


And a well worn Curve-winged Metalmark Emesis emesia.


Black Swallowtail isn't something we see every day in the RGV.
