Skippers of Oregon - Lepidoptera photo identification gallery, by Phil Huntley-Franck, at where art meets the heart

PURPOSE:
This image gallery has been created to assist visitors with skipper and caterpillar identification. Butterflies and Moths are presented seperately, each in their own gallery.

PHOTOGRAPHIC LOCATION:
Currently, the skipper identification on this page is specific to all skippers that show up in and around my yard. These skippers, however, are also found in many other parts of the country.

Unless otherwise noted, all images were taken in Northern Douglas County, Oregon.

The date each photograph was taken appears under each thumbnail image. The sex of each specimen, if known, is also indicated under each thumbnail.
