Thanks to everyone who's been trying to positively ID my picture.
I emailed two more pictures to Lenny. Maybe they'll help with the ID. A few
southern friends seemed to think it was a Brazilian skipper too and they're not
often mistaken.
Perhaps he arrived in a shipment of Cannas at a nearby nursery, but I can't
imagine a nursery in CT bringing in Cannas late enough in the growing season to
account for this individual.
The same day I saw a Long tailed skipper at Harkness in Waterford and another
in my Niantic backyard. I'm thinking they rode the same strong warm airmass
right into CT and my lucky backyard. I also had several Cloudless Sulphurs and
one PVS this fall too!
