Two-barred Flasher at Progreso Lakes, 11/24/21

There are still a dozen or so regularly occuring RGV butterflies that have yet to occur in our Progreso Lakes yard.  Perhaps the most overdue of these was Two-barred Flasher.  Five days ago Matt Orsie found the first of these fat colorful skippers for our yard but I didn't get to see it.  But with stong southeasterly winds ahead of a cold front, I finally got one today.  Unfortunately the 137th species for our yard gave a view of only a few seconds and I got the poorest of shots.



Stong winds usually blow in unusual whites like this Giant White.


It's supposed to be warm and rainy for Thanksgving tomorrow and then in the 50's after that.  So if I can't find anything tomorrow it may be a few daystill something good shows up.
