-Silverdrops (Genus Epargyreus)

Members of this genus typically have dark brown wings with contrasting pale or orange spots, and many species show a prominent silvery or white patch on the underside of the hindwing—a key identification feature. Their bodies are stout, and like all skippers, they have hooked antennae and a fast, darting flight, though they often pause to perch with wings partially open. Epargyreus species are found across North, Central, and South America, inhabiting open woodlands, forest edges, fields, and gardens. Adults frequently visit flowers for nectar and may also take moisture from damp soil.
