Wing span:

Flight time:Adults have been observed in flight from late May through the first of September, with the bulk of encounters occurring in the first half of July. While this species likely has multiple broods, collection records do not clearly indicate when these might occur. Perhaps there is only a single adult brood, which emerges over an extended period in the summer.

Status: Common breeding resident.

Distinguishing features: This is a uniformly dark brown skipper. Males have a black stigma, and females have a few white spots on the upper forewing. Females often have a faint crescent of light brown spots on the mid-hindwing below. It differs from the Little Glassy Wing and Northern Broken Dash by having reduced light markings (if any) on the upper forewing.

Distribution and habitat: It is common throughout the state in a wide variety of open habitats.

Natural History: The larval hosts are unreported, but are believed to be various members of the sedge family.
