An intrepid Huron Sachem, no doubt on a quest of some sort.
Apparently, #Atalopedes huron and A. campestris used to be conspecific, but were recently found to be distinct species, so it's hard to find info on this newly separated species: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atalopedes_campestris
Atalopedes campestris (called sachem in the United States and Canada), a small grass skipper butterfly, was on a Zinnia in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on October 20, 2023
