      That's amazing, even the stripes seem to match well. Saw that there were close to 600 species of skippers in Colombia, so was a bit intimidated. Posted 2 years ago

        Great! But, ugh, I know...skippers are hard! I got lucky with finding the ID for this one, though. The tiny bit of blue on the thorax led me to the genus on a whim. Posted 2 years ago
