Clouded Skipper Found on Lantana the same time as the other butterfly posted separately. This is one if much smaller, the size of a Fawn Skipper. It does look like it has a flat snout unlike the pointed one on the American Snout Butterfly. Although it&#039;s interesting that the American Snout Butterfly is migrating through San Antonio at this time.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/102486/clouded_skipper.html" title="Clouded Skipper"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/4330/102486_thumb.JPG?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=Hs3KqM%2FqfL2zgL2K12yB2Oz0omI%3D" width="200" height="174" alt="Clouded Skipper Found on Lantana 10-3-20, see other posts.<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/102484/possible_3-spot_skipper.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/102485/possible_skipper.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/102489/unknown_skipper.html<br /> Clouded skipper,Geotagged,Lerema accius,United States,Winter" /></a></figure><br /> <br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/102485/clouded_skipper.html" title="Clouded Skipper"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/4330/102485_thumb.JPG?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=UdJpGzvwMhb4g0Hm8CjmfYtAwyY%3D" width="200" height="180" alt="Clouded Skipper Found on Lantana 10-3-20 Small, about same size as Fawn Skipper<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/102484/possible_3-spot_skipper.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/102486/unknown_skipper.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/102489/unknown_skipper.html<br /> <br /> Clouded skipper,Geotagged,Lerema accius,United States,Winter" /></a></figure><br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/102489/clouded_skipper.html" title="Clouded Skipper"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/4330/102489_thumb.JPG?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=rPX4gRjEhLh%2FycK%2FhoU5nXYHYj4%3D" width="200" height="160" alt="Clouded Skipper Found on Lantana 10-3-20.

    I'm thinking it could be the same species as your previous one:

      Didn't see the other discussion on the other photo, agree that Clouded Skipper is perhaps a stronger candidate. Posted 4 years ago
