| Commentary/Habitat: This is, with the exception of the Mulberry Wing, the rarest marsh skipper in the state. It has been extirpated from the Douglas County site and is currently known only from one spring fed marsh in Stanton County. Barber (1894) mentions it from Dodge County, but the particulars are unknown. Leussler (1939) mentions that the Black Dash “frequents the same localities as” the Dion Skipper, implying more locations than we know of, but giving no further details. |
