Least Skipper found in Banner County

While Colin Croft was exploring the far reaches of Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area on August 22 he came across a Least Skipper (Ancyloxypha numitor) in a moist canyon. After consulting his GPS he determined he had left Scotts Bluff County and was in 150′ into Banner County where the Least Skipper had not yet been found. The great detective work by Colin “netted” him a county record (even though he carried no net). That leaves just 8 counties without Least Skipper records. The summer is slipping away – get out there and make the last weeks of warm weather count.
