Cofaqui Giant-Skipper (Hesperiidae)


This is a very neat butterfly that flies only at dawn (reportedly) and dusk. My camera compensated well for the very dim light conditions. Unfortunately, however, I was not able to focus well, so these pictures are very blurry. They were taken around 7:30pm Central Daylight Time (well after sunset).
