Problema bulenta
Rare Skipper
Problema bulenta, commonly known as the rare skipper, is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is one of the most elusive butterflies in the United States, with populations restricted to isolated brackish river marshes along the Atlantic Coast. The species was first described from a drawing by John Abbot in Georgia, with no specimens collected again until the 1920s. Its extreme rarity and specific habitat requirements have made it a subject of conservation concern.
