Mangrove Skipper
Phocides pigmalion
I caught this image while taking the Creat Southern White. The Mangrove came and went in an instant. I had been trying to tine this skipper for months. Taken on the Black Point Drive in the Merritt Island WMR, Titusville, FL.
The Mangrove Skipper is only found in the costal regions of central and southern Florida. Turquoise blue coloration is distinctive. (Kaufman 266, Glassenberg 282)
