Fiery Skipper seen here today

Hi again, Here in Nottingham, southeastern PA we usually do not see many Fiery Skippers. Last year I saw none here! When seen I usually see several to less than a dozen of these southern migrants. Fiery Skippers are more tropical and are not capable of overwintering  themselves, nor their caterpillars. We do get some migrants late in some summers, but one never knows what year they will appear. I do plant a lot more tropical type flowers than most folks do, so I have a slight advantage over most in my humble opinion. I plant a lot of Cannas and Lantana regularly along with any tropical that is usually sold here as an annual simply because it cannot withstand our winters and perish in the cold.
