Telicota augias (Bright-orange Darter)

Other Common Names

Krefft’s Darter

Notes

This is one of the many similar species of skippers to be seen around Cairns, which makes identification difficult. I found the situation to be more straightforward in Darwin, as the two Telicota species there were this one and T. colon, and they’re not too hard to distinguish since colon is so much paler.
