Hello all,
I decided to head down to Shawnee today after work to look for a very rare butterfly in Ohio. Linda Romine Called me yesterday to let me know she had found Golden-Banded Skippers in Shawnee St. Forest. I zipped down there today and was able to refind them and it was a life butterfly for me and a very rare butterfly throughout eastern North America. Through the course of the afternoon, I found all five of the regular Ohio "Big Skippers." They are: Golden-Banded, Northern Cloudywing, Southern Cloudywing, Hoary Edge, and Silver Spotted Skipper. The only one I didn't photograph was the final one, but I'm guessing you know what those look like:) I also had my first swarthy skipper and banded hairstreak of the year and a large Black Racer sunning on the road. Here are the big skippers:
