Beth's Patch ~ Brazilian Skipper

Brazilian Skipper nest

 Last year Brazilian Skippers were everywhere in Cape May County and this year there were few of them.  Their host plant is canna.  I found 3 nests in my yard late in August on my canna's in the front yard but ended up with only one viable pupa that eclosed.





Hiding in the nest is a Brazilian Skipper like this one.
