Longtail Skippers

[58chevy]

At the present time there is a proliferation of 2 species of longtail at my local Lantana patch: Chioides albofasciatus & Urbanus proteus

Nicely done, i love catching these but hate pinning dried and rehydrated specimens they are near impossible for me to set unless they are fresh off the lantana

They really aren't that hard if you relax them well. See my personal method in the old forum - https://collector-secret.proboards.com/ ... ers?page=2. I explain how I relax after all the pics of skippers.
