Fiery and Ocola Skippers

In what will probably be the last day above 80 for the next 6 months the leps were giving it all they had. Along a short stretch of our road I saw 6 Fiery Skippers, an Ocola Skipper and a Cloudless Sulphur. Thirteen species in all. Unless a Painted Lady or Long-tailed Skipper shows up soon I’m probably be done for the year (as far as new species) in WV. Other species over the last couple of days:

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
Cabbage White
Clouded Sulphur
Orange Sulphur
Variegated Fritillary
Eastern Comma
American Lady
Common Buckeye
Monarch
Sachem
