Comments	Female woodland skipper. See photo i.d. 47982 for example of male. "Male & female Woodland Skippers can be distinguished by the markings on their dorsal forewings. The male...exhibits a clearly defined black line from the base of the wing to the middle. Females have a broader black patch instead." Mike Yip (2014): Vancouver Island Butterflies, p. 121
