BUTTERFLIES OF THE VICINITY OF NEW YORK CITY 



64. Hobomok Skipper (Pamphila hobomok). 



Rather common along the edges of woods and sunny wood paths, 

 during the latter part of May and throughout June, disappearing 

 early in July. It is single-brooded. It flies close to the ground, and 

 settles on leaves of plants when at rest. In the female a form occurs 

 (var. pocahontas) which is brown instead of yellow. The caterpillar 

 feeds on grasses. 



65, Leonard's Skipper {Pamphila leonardus). 



Rather scarce in this neighborhood. Single-brooded. It is on 

 the wing during the latter part of August until early in September. 

 The caterpillar feeds on grasses. 



66. Huron Skipper (Pamphila huron). 



Somewhat rare, but common farther south. It is single-brooded. 

 The caterpillar feeds on grasses.
