Ocola Skipper, yard butterfly #88, 10/22/14

We finally got our first Ocola Skipper in our yard today.  It was hard to see the spotting on the back so hecebola can't be ruled out but it's highly unlikely.  All the Panoquina butterflies have the elongated fore wing and strong venation.



We have the reddest Southern Broken-dashes in our yard.
