Whirlabout Skipper

Polites vibex

"The male resembles the male fiery skipper, its orange wings above bordered with black. The hindwing border is smoothly edged, however, not sawtoothed as in the fiery skipper. The orange-yellow hindwing below bears larger dark, paired blotches, rather than small black spots."

BugGuide has this example of a Whirlabout.

Photo taken with a Nikon D80, using a Nikon 200mm, f4 micro manual focus lens.
