Rayetta's Butterflies - A CB - BDS Limitation

I am trying to decide, based on the photographic evidence, what species of skipper this one is. These photographs are of the same skipper. But what skipper. Is this skipper an Apache skipper (Hesperia woodgatei), or a green skipper (Hesperia viridis), or some other skipper? Hmmm. Perhaps, I should review my other pictures that are similar to this skipper.



Crumby wants to pin this skipper out, then send it off to a museum. But Crumby does not want to take the trouble to drive over to the museum with the specimen, or mail the specimen off. So Crumby only wants to pin this skipper out, as an alternative to the BDS. And since I shall never allow Crumby to pin this skipper out, then proceed to store this skipper at the CB, pinning out is no alternative at all.

Er. Rayetta. There is yet another or third alternative.

Uh, huh. What might that be, Crumby?

We shall dub this skipper, the Zizotes skipper (Hesperia zizotianus). Then, throughout all the land, we shall become famous among a minuscule yet select crew as the inventors of a new Hesperia species, the Zizotes Skipper. That would be swell because nobody knows what a Zizotes, is.

We shall certainly not do that, Crumby. That is breaking so many rules. How the heck do you come up with such nonsense. For Goddess Sakes Crumby, I may have to schedule you for a refresher course on Druid Ethics at the Tabby Lab. Perhaps, in that venue, Dr. Swineherd shall knock some of the nonsense out of your noggin.

OK Rayetta. Let's all forget all about the interesting Zizotes Skipper, Praise the Goddess!!!!

The zizotes controversy got me to thinking about this butterfly. This butterfly is most likely a female sachem.
