​

Genus Vacerra is a genus of grass skippers in the family Hesperiidae, distributed primarily in tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. These butterflies are generally small to medium-sized, with brown to dark brown wings marked by subtle pale or translucent spots that provide camouflage among grasses and low vegetation. Like other skippers, Vacerra species possess sturdy bodies, hooked antennae, and a rapid, darting flight. They are typically associated with grasslands, savannas, tropical dry forests, woodland edges, and disturbed habitats, where adults visit flowers for nectar and often perch on grasses or low shrubs.
