I took a long lunch and went to Green Ridge State Forest today. The primary goal was to find some of the reported Cobweb Skippers as this is the only of the year they can be seen. Kentucky basketball is not the only “one-and-done” practitioner. Rather, many butterfly species in early spring are univoltine. Olympia Marble, Elfins, Cobweb Skipper, etc. I ended up finding about 10 Cobweb Skippers in various conditions of wear. Also of note was my earliest Common Roadside-Skipper in this area. Very fresh, as it was very frosted. Also spotted was a stunning female Northern Green-striped Grasshopper. I just had to included it in today’s post.
