Polites mardon
''Polites mardon'' also known by its common name Mardon Skipper is a butterfly native to the United States northwest coast.
==Description==
The mardon skipper is a small size (<1 in) butterfly that belongs to the Hesperiidae family. Its habitat extends from the northwestern coast of Washington, through southern Oregon and northern California. In Washington, the Mardon skipper can be found in the Puget prairies and the South Cascades.
Some distinguishing characteristics of this species are an orange hairy body with dark orange accents on the upper surface and a light orange lower surface with white-yellowish rectangular spots.〔 Male specimens are known to be darker than females as well as smaller in size. Other species with very similar attributes include the Sonora skipper (''Polites sonora'') and the woodland skipper (''Ochlodes sylvanoides'').
This butterfly species, native to the northwest, is most commonly found on prairies populated by native grasses such as Roemer’s fescue (''Festuca roemeri'') and red fescue (''Festuca rubra''). These native plants serve as oviposition sites.〔 Some of the native plants that provide the species with nectar include the early blue violet (''Viola adunca''), prairie lupine (''Lupinus lepidus''), as well as Idaho blue-eyed grass (''Sisyrinchum idahoense''), penstemon (''Penstemon'' spp.) and vetch (''Vicia'' spp.)
