The Little Glassywing (Pompeius verna) is a dark brown skipper with a sleek, streamlined shape and a subtle translucent sheen on the wings that gives it a “glassy” appearance. Its understated coloration and quick, darting flight make it a classic grass skipper.
Native to eastern North America, Pompeius verna is found from southern Canada through the eastern United States. It is commonly associated with woodland edges, clearings, and grassy areas where its host plants grow.
Interesting Fact:
The caterpillars of this species feed primarily on grasses and construct silk shelters by folding leaves, a behavior typical of many skipper larvae.
This specimen is preserved and is carefully stored in a protective paper triangle, ensuring it arrives safely and is ready for spreading or long-term collection. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
