Least Skipper - Ancyloxypha numitor - is among the smallest butterflies - wingspan about an inch, give or take a couple sixteenths. They are most often found clinging to blades of grass, perched with hindwings extended and forewings tented as I showed in an earlier post. Look for them in wet grassy areas - the best place I have found to see them is an overgrown roadside ditch with a nearly constant flow of water a quarter mile or so from the Maiden Creek.
