The Mulberry Skipper needs wetlands, just like the reconstructed wetland at Coffee Creek, in order to survive. Wetlands are being filled in and are disappearing due to over development of land; endangering the creatures like the Mulberry Skipper that depend on them.
The Mulberry Skipper larvae feed on wetland grasses and sedges.
