Fiery Skipper

Although the Fiery Skipper is one that is come to be “expected” east of West Virginia as you go towards the Chesapeake Bay and the east coast it is anything but that in our area. I found one on my Butterfly Bush late last week (the last 90 degree day we had). I’ve only ever seen two in West Virginia. Also present were Peck’s, Tawny-edged Skippers, Sachem, Painted Lady and a Meadow Fritillary.
