Description

A dark somewhat dull skipper, the Little Glassywing is found in moist grassy areas in close proximity to shady woodlands or wetlands. The active adults are quite fond of flowers and may wander widely in search of available nectar, frequently venturing into nearby gardens. | Photos by Rita Venable
