Yellow-haired Skipper

Is another one that seems mis-named with no obvious yellow, though one that I found online did have a golden yellowish hue. 🙂 It seems to be a rare or seldom-seen butterfly with only one other reported on iNaturalist CR and me being the only one on butterfliesandmoths dot org, with three sightings now. 🙂 I’m basing my identification mainly on those two sets of 3 white dots on the wings. I guess most people just see it as another one of the many brown skippers! 🙂
