| Zabulon Skipper - female |
The past 2 days have seen 2 new life species of butterflies in my gardens. This is great because the overall numbers of butterflies for me are way down this year. I have now had 13 species of butterflies in 2013 compared to about 25 species last year. The 2 new species are Zabulon Skippers - both males and females plus Red-banded Hairstreak. I am going to be out looking more often because just maybe these butterflies were here in 2012 and I just missed seeing them. The Red-banded Hairstreak is just about 1/4" in size so it's very easy to overlook.
