Common/White Checkered Skipper [Pyrgus communis/Pyrgus albescens]* |
| This diminutive specimen was photographed on 4/8/2007 in a drainage ditch in southeastern Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. The prevailing cool temperature obviously made the specimen somewhat lethargic and thus easy to approach for photography. |
