The Fiery Skipper (Hylephila phyleus) is a small but vibrant butterfly with bright orange wings and distinctive dark spotting, especially prominent in males. Its warm coloration and rapid, darting flight make it a familiar sight in sunny, open habitats.
Native to the Americas, Hylephila phyleus is found throughout the southern United States and extends into Central and South America. It is commonly associated with open areas such as lawns, fields, parks, and roadsides where grasses grow.
Interesting Fact:
This species is known for periodic population explosions, where large numbers appear suddenly in favorable conditions, particularly in warmer regions.
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.
