Skipper

Although I still see a few brushfoots, it's mostly just skippers in the garden now. This is probably a “Sachem.” Something astonishing I discovered today: no one posting to 365 has ever tagged a Sachem, either by
» common name, http://365project.org/tags/sachem or
» scientific name, http://365project.org/tags/atalopedes%20campestris

Confirmed at BAMONA as “Atalopedes campestris” or “Sachem”; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/1107034

Beautiful! I shot a long-tailed skipper a while back. Was shocked to see one - never knew there was such a thing.
