Brown Longtail Skipper

 Many people head out to the Rio Grande Valley in south Texas in search of rare birds that can not be seen most anywhere else in the United States. There are other things to see in south Texas that fall into the same category. The northern portion of the range of the brown longtail skipper extends up into south Texas. The range continues south Mexico, Central America and Argentina. Occasionally a rare siting of these butterflies occurs in south New Mexico, Arizona, or California.
