Zabulon

By Beth Burke | Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 10:58 AM

Zabulon Skipper is a fun little butterfly. Look for these skippers by the roadside, wooded edges and grassy fields. The male is golden orange with dark brown borders. The female is dark brown with cream colored spots. The males will fly out to engage rival males and keep them from their area but the females will stay in shadier locations.
