Ocola Skipper, long-winged skipper
Panoquina ocola is a skipper butterfly with an exceptionally long forewing relative to its body, giving it a distinctive elongated silhouette. It ranges from Paraguay through tropical America and the West Indies to the southern United States, with occasional strays reaching as far north as Canada. The species is strongly associated with cultivated grasses and has been documented feeding on rice, sugarcane, and related wetland grasses.
