    We have a photo of a possible Zabulon Skipper from Washtenaw County in southeast Michigan that we need to be confirmed by an expert on the species. This butterfly is very rare in southeast Michigan and there have been no recent confirmed sightings of the
    species. It may no longer be resident in our area on a permanent basis. I and other local butterfliers do not have the requisite skills and experience to make a positive identification but we sure like this butterfly to be a Zabulon if it is one. If the
    butterfly is a Zabulon Skipper it would be a very noteworthy butterfly find for our region.

    Seeking help please.
