If you see a little brown butterfly flying low to the ground in your yard, it is most likely a Clouded Skipper.
The one-inch butterfly is the most abundant blackish-brown skipper in the Houston area, according to the Tvetens' Butterflies of Houston & Southeast Texas.
The little skipper likes to lay its eggs on St. Augustine grass, which makes is a year-round resident in our area. It is most active February through November.
