Description

This is clearly a flight year for this local population of Apache Skipper. I encountered at least 6 individuals along Post Oak Creek on Balcones Canyonlands NWR (Travis Co.). They were nectaring mainly on plateau goldeneye, and also on gray goldenrod, and frostweed.

Due to the unusual opportunity afforded today to document this local population, I'm uploading a gallery of a dozen images of the species encompassing at least 4 different individuals.
