Description

There are four pictures I took of skippers feeding on flowers near the entry station to Hammonasset State Park. I am entertaining, among IDs for all of them: Sachem, Long Dash, Northern Broken Dash, Indian, and Tawny-edged. Help appreciated; this is my first full season butterflying, and I am based on the west coast, so the Eastern skippers are VERY confusing! Apologies, too, that none of these pictures are great and well-defined. Four consecutive entries here.
