. . . in my August garden, that is. 🙂 There are so many Skippers labeled “Longtail” (I have 16 Longtail Galleries) that it is difficult to say which is most common in Costa Rica or even in my garden, but I got photos of these three (and some more) in August, and they are 3 of the most obviously different longtails from each other, so they make the longtail post! 🙂 The three, alphabetically, with their galleries linked to their name headings . . .
Brown Longtail – Â Urbanus procne
Dorantes Longtail – Urbanus dorantes
Esmeralda Longtail – Urbanus esmeraldus
¡Pura Vida!
Esmeralda is my favorite!
Thank you!

🙂 Of course! “Esmeralda” is Spanish for “Emerald” (Turquoise) and that color is obvious on the butterfly! 🙂
