Atalopedes huron is a small grass skipper butterfly. Formerly treated as a subspecies of Atalopedes campestris , it was upgraded to full species status by Zhang et al. in 2022. [1]
Wingspan is 1 to 1+1⁄2 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm). The males are tawny orange with wide dark borders with prominent wide black stigma on the dorsal view of their wings. Hingwings have dark veins.

Resident in southeastern United States, west to Colorado and SE Arizona, and south all the way to South America. Stages a late summer/fall migration every year, rarely reaching as far as southern Canada. (Note that Atalopedes campestris is now the western species, and AZ is the only state where both species are present.) [3]
