2 of the Many Spreadwing Skippers

During the last few weeks I’ve been seeing more Skippers than any other family of butterflies and one of those “sub-families” or categories is generally called “Spreadwing Skippers” with several pages in my best butterfly book to go through for identification. They are all brown in various shades and with differing patterns, spots and/or wing shapes. Here’s two I’ve seen recently, The Giant Sicklewing (Achlyodes busirus heros) and the Panna Skipper (Ouleus panna) linked to my galleries on them with more photos there of the Panna. And just yesterday I photographed another tiny Spreadwing that I haven’t identified yet, but think is still another species. Plus you can find other Spreadwings in my Skippers Galleries, photographed in earlier years here. My collection just keeps growing and I’m now up to more than 300 species of butterflies in my Costa Rica Butterflies Galleries.
