Broad-winged Skipper
Butterfly.--Accurately delineated in the plate. On the under side the wings are as on the upper side, but paler, and the secondaries are traversed from the base to the middle of the outer margin by a pale light-colored longitudinal ray, which is more or less obscured in some specimens, especially of the female. The light spots of the upper side appear indistinctly on the under side. Expanse, male, 1.45 inch; female, 1.60 inch.
Early Stages.--Unknown.
It is not uncommon in the Gulf States, and has been found as far north as New Jersey, northern Illinois, and Wisconsin.
