New butterfly species


Another one of those "right time, right place" stories. I was standing on our back patio a while ago and noticed a butterfly flitting around. It looked unfamiliar. Could it be a new species? I dashed inside for my smartphone, hoping the butterfly would still be around. It was! I got several shots, then added them to my iNaturalist list. Yes, a new species! This is a Texas powdered skipper (Systasea pulverulenta). Cool!
