The Propertius Duskywing (Erynnis propertius) is a dark, mottled skipper with rich brown wings dusted in gray scaling, giving it a subtle, camouflaged appearance. Its compact body and quick, erratic flight are typical of the duskywing group.
Native to western North America, Erynnis propertius is found from California through the Pacific Northwest and into parts of western Canada. It is most commonly associated with oak woodlands and forested habitats where its host plants grow.
Interesting Fact:
Like many duskywings, this species relies on oaks (Quercus spp.) as host plants, and the caterpillars create silk shelters by folding leaves for protection.
This specimen is preserved, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
