Yehl Skipper Poanes yehl

This is a wet area denizen. I have found them only along wooded creeks but they reportedly enjoy a nice swamp as well. The previous common name in fact was Southern Swamp Skipper. I have yet to find one in Bell Slough's swampy areas. Probably uses cane, Arundinaria, for its foodplant. Not really common in the state. The ones I have seen were wary and often perched over the water.

And one from Camp Robinson on the lake edge.
