Ochlodes yuma
The Yuma Skipper is a species that lives in the Southwestern US and I just happened to find this shot in some photos
I took in 2008. This skipper was visiting some tiny flowers on a plant at Springs Park in St. George, Utah.
According to Butterflies and Moths of North America, phragmites are the reeds of choice for Yuma
Skipper caterpillars. © Carol Davis, 10-18-2008
