Progreso Lakes Yard, 9/10/17

Nothing exciting but I had some nice photos yesterday so I thought I would make a blog entry. Finally got some good Guava Skipper photos from our yard.



Got our first Long-tailed Skipper which is yard butterfly #73.  Always need to double check these guys to see that they are not something rare.



Double-dotted Skipper continues to be regular in the yard.  Not sure what the host plant is but they sure like the purple Duranta.


Fawn-spotted Skipper likes to feed early in the morning and hides in the shade the rest of the day.


My second time to find a Mimosa Skipper in the purple Duranta.
