| Silver-Spotted Skipper Butterfly |
This nectar loving skipper is distinctive because of the silver colored mark underneath the hind-wings. The spot is said to resemble the shape of the state Texas.
They seem quite common at Gorman, in fact, I read, they are common throughout the US. In our area, they have two broods a season and over winter as chrysalids according to Wikipedia. Caterpillars of Eastern North America by David L. Wagner lists larval foods as Cassia, False indigo, groundnut, locust, rose acacia, wisteria, and other legumes.
