Common Checkered-Skipper
highlights from a walk organized for one of the local audubon societies specifically to see the baltimore checkerspots, considerably fewer individuals (mostly worn) estimated than noted by R Kelly et al eight days prior. R Poricelli had the checkered skipper before my group (45+ participants! - hard to make butterfly counts) got there. Checkered skipper is infrequent in Nassau/ and Suffolk Counties, possibly new record for this locality.
