| The Fawn-spotted Skipper (Cymaenes trebius) is a rare stray to deep south Texas. In May, 2007, I was photographing birds at Audubon's Sabal Palm Sanctuary near Brownsville in Cameron Co., Texas, when I came across a number of Fawn-spotted Skippers feeding on some flower blooms. Since I was set up for bird photography all I had was a long lens, so these shots were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 600mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender with a flash. |  |

| The next two shots of a Fawn-spotted Skipper were taken at Santa Ana N.W.R., Hidalgo Co., Texas, in October, 2009 with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and an EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and 580 flash. |  |
