I am still seeing fresh = looking male Fiery Skippers plus a handful of worn Variegated Fritillaries,= Common Buckeyes, and Checkered Skippers. As I was trying to count the Fiery Skippers in one clump of Vervain I spott= ed a somewhat worn Southern Skipperling, a butterfly I do not see in Anson = County for whatever reason. The number of sightings of Southern Skipperlin= gs in Mecklenburg County would suggest this species is under reported in An= son County.
