Pepper and Salt Skipper Amblyscirtes hegon

Actually a Roadside-Skipper that is small and dusty, greenish on the outside, often looking scaly. Usually fairly rare but the day this shot was taken, I found over one hundred in one mountainous stretch of road near a clear creek. Sometimes found mudding otherwise.

Another shot of the Pepper showing the green tones and the spotting beneath the scaling seen in good light. A very fancy butterfly up close.

Bob's award winning Pepper with an almost pathologic level of scaling going on. Nice Minty green tones. Yow.
