\u00a0\u00a0 Kirsten Mills writes:\u00a0 Today, May 19, Jeff Gaskin and I were on Stamps Road in Cowichan. Is this an Arctic Skipper? It would be a lifer for both of us.\u00a0 Answer:\u00a0 Yes!!! Carterocephalus palaemon<\/i>! A great find!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Incidentally, writes Jeremy Tatum, in the UK this butterfly has been known for a long time as the Chequered Skipper, which is one of several reasons that I prefer not to use that name for our Pyrgus ruralis<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
