Thorybes pylades – Northern Cloudywing

Family Hesperiidae

Caterpillar foods: legumes

This is one of the spread wing skippers – skippers that rest with their front and hind wings stretched out together.  Northern Cloudywings are fairly common here in early summer – I see them flying in savannas, and woods edges.
