Wonderful capture of what appears to be a member of the skipper family (though for the life of me, I can't tell most of them apart!). Great color and detail, Kathy! #1188417

You know me, I LOVE butterflies and you caught yourself a little beauty here, Kathy...As Maria Gonzales told me (our resident butterfly expert!), there are over 3000 different varieties of skippers....but have heart, this is an easy one to identify - it's a long-tailed skipper...and if he would've been kind enough to "open up" for you, you would've seeen the most beautiful iridescent blue-green along his body! As it is, you caught him beautifully, with great detail and perched prettily! Great shot! #8010523
