    Just trying to help out here, but this is not a smallmouth bass...this is a moth, of which specie I do not know. Posted 11 years ago

      You're right. I spotted it once I saw the species photo for the fish :) I removed identification on this one for now. Posted 11 years ago

      Although they are often confused with moths, this is a butterfly from the fam. Hesperiidae. There are a few similar species, but the closest looking one seems Pelopidas subochracea.
