Black Dash in WV

Barry and I made a trip out to eastern Preston county today. The weather was beautiful with partly sunny skies and a nice breeze with temps in the lower 80’s. It appears that the Bog Copper flight is done at Cranesville Swamp as we did not find any. Notables there were Aphrodite Fritillary and FOY Appalachian Brown. We then worked the first couple miles of Lake Ford road and found our first WV Black Dash, a skipper of wet grass and sedge. Other grass skippers seen were Northern Broken-Dash, Little Glassywing and Dun Skipper.
