Colorful Skipper … A photo I took in the garden at our old house way back in July of 2008 This adorable little guy and his brothers and sisters and cousins … there were sooo many of them (they loved our cone flowers) that I practically had to brush them aside as I walked by.

Colorful Skipper … A photo I took in the garden at our old house way back in July of 2008 (with the D40x!!). This adorable little guy and his brothers and sisters and cousins … there were sooo many of them (they loved our cone flowers) that I practically had to brush them aside as I walked by. They didn't even mind me sitting among them and snapping their pics. I miss them!!

A Not-Ready-For-National-Geographic photo of Epargyreus clarus, the Silver-Spotted #Skipper. (You can see where it got its name.) At least one field guide has called this species "the most recognized skipper in North America." At least it's big.

Possibly, or even maybe, this is Polites themistocles, the Tawny-edged Skipper, in my backyard "grassland restoration area." It is nectaring on a species of Fleabane (Erigeron).

Hobomok #Skipper (_Poanes hobomok_), somewhere in the vicinity of Petersham, #Massachusetts. iPhone 6+ photo, 2 June 2020. Wikipedia tells me that the Latin name for this species is now _Lon hobomok_. Linnaeus must be spinning in his grave. Note the leading underscores with the Latin names, Markdown syntax for italics. Mastodon, are you listening?
