Quite a common skipper in the Florida region. It can be found along the eastern coast and in the central plains. It does prefer woods and wetlands. It is an orange skipper on the underside and darker on the upper surface with clear orange markings. On the under surface lighter marking can be seen similar to chevrons, one on the hindwing and one on the forewing.
