Salt Marsh Skipper 
Panoquina panoquin

Salt Marsh Skipper is common in salt marshes and sometimes in brackish marshes in the Coastal counties. It often wanders in search of nectar, but it is never very far from its habitat. The hostplant is seashore saltgrass (Distichlis spicata). There are three broods from late March into May, July and August and September and October, with a few lingering into November. Early Date: March 14 (Glynn County); Late Date: November 1 (Camden County). Conservation Status: Secure because of Marshlands Protection Act, a Georgia law passed in 1968 and sponsored by Rep. Reid Harris (D- Glynn).
