Cycloglypha thrasibulus, commonly known as the Widespread Bent-Skipper, is a small butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It belongs to a group of skippers notable for their distinctive wing posture, often held in a slightly bent or angled position, which gives the species its common name. This species is widely distributed in Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America, inhabiting tropical forests, edges, and open areas. Adults are often seen flying low and rapidly or perching briefly on leaves, frequently returning to favored spots.
