Leonard's Skipper (Hesperia
leonardus) |
One record has been reported by Edward
Lambremont in his 1954 article in Tulane Studies in Zoology,
Volume 1, number 10, April 30, 1954. He said that he has not seen this
species in Louisiana, but one was reported from Madison Parish by P. A.
Glick in 1939. It was apparently caught in a trap being pulled by an
airplane and the butterfly was in rather ragged condition. None has been
seen since that time. The closest normal range of this skipper is in
northern Arkansas. I think this record is questionable. The photos
below are from Oklahoma. |
