Fiery Skippers have really increased since a week ago. There's quite a difference between the sexes. The first is the male.
Finally saw a Turk's-cap White-Skipper.
Celia's Roadside-Skippers have also increased. I saw six today after seeing none a week ago.
I chase down every Little Yellow hoping to find a Mimosa Yellow and finally got one today.
Separating Julia's and Eufala Skippers can be a challenge. Julia's is usually browner or more golden but I find Jan Dauphin's "eyebrow rule" to be equally helpful. Eufala always has a big gleaming white eyebrow that goes all the way forward above the eye.
While Julia's eyebrow is much less distinct.
I thought I had a big "white" flopping around high up in the tree tops but I couldn't tell which it was. So I fired a bunch a photos. I was disappointed to find it was just a female Large Orange Sulphur.
