Hayhurst's Skipper
Butterfly.--Easily distinguished from the preceding species by the somewhat crenulate shape of the outer margin of the hind wings, the white color of the under side of the abdomen, and the different arrangement of the white spots on the fore wings, as well as by the dark bands which cross both the fore and the hind wings on the upper side. Expanse, .90-1.15 inch.
Early Stages.--Our information as to these is incomplete.
The species ranges from the latitude of southern Pennsylvania westward and southward and southward to the Gulf, as far as the Rocky Mountains.
