      I think Cymaenes trebius could be possible too, as they are quite similar. But, from what I've read, Cymaenes trebius is only found in the very southern part of Texas. Posted 4 years ago

      I'm thinking it is the Clouded Skipper rather than the fawn spotted because Ferdy had already identified a fawn spotted skipper on another post on mine, and this butterfly looks more red, and doesn't have a definite white fringed wing. Posted 4 years ago
