The Season Must Be Ripe For Skippers

Today was a day to just sit by the verbena and watch what came passing by for a drink. We grabbed our butterfly identification book and thumbed through, as this and that butterfly stopped by. Everything we saw was a skipper...but we saw such a large variety. Everything from the large Silver Streaked Skipper to the little Fiery Skipper.

The Skippers are interesting in that they seem pretty fast in flight, but at the same time they'll let you practically touch them when they are on a flower.
