These are butterflies in the family Hesperiidae that I have recorded on Isla Colon. Each specimen includes collecting data and observations I have made over years of visits to the island.

Field notes from Isla Colon:

 

This is species shows up occasionally at lights, but in my experience it is never common. I have found this moth at lights on two trips, both in June, and both times at lights during a full or nearly full moon.
