Yesterday The Toledo crew took me out to a few spots to see Dusted Skippers, and though the Karner Blues didn't show up, I was more than happy with the dusted as if was a LIFE butterfly for me. They are very rare in Ohio almost exclusively found in the Oak Openings area. There used to be a few in Southern Ohio, but they haven't been seen there for years. We also had a possible Persius Duskywing, but you pretty much have to dissect them to find the species, and that wasn't about to happen. Here are the Dusted Skipper Pics.
