Large Skipper

Ochlodes venata

Large Skipper

Adult large skippers frequent sunny grasslands, field edges, gardens, and roadside vegetation. They fly rapidly and low over the ground, stopping to drink nectar from a variety of flowers. Unlike many butterflies, their stout bodies and hooked antennae give them a distinctly moth-like appearance.
