Duskywing Skipper Butterfly Host Plants
Duskywing skippers are a group of small, stout-bodied butterflies in the skipper family (Hesperiidae) commonly found in Florida. They are named for their overall dark, dusky brown wings, which often have subtle mottling or faint spots. Unlike many brightly colored skippers, duskywings are more muted in appearance, helping them blend into soil, bark, and leaf litter. They are strong, fast fliers and are often seen basking with wings spread open in sunny clearings, edges of woodlands, or open fields. Duskywing caterpillars typically feed on legumes or oaks, while the adults visit flowers for nectar.
