Silver-spotted Skipper Butterfly
A little Silver-sptted Skipper butterfly on a butterfly bush flower with a muted green grass background. Typically there would be many of this Skipper family butterflies, in several varieities, seen here at this time of year. So far, however, i don't think I've seen more than 5 or 6 of them. Wikipedia: "Epargyreus clarus, the silver-spotted skipper, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is claimed to be the most recognized skipper in North America.. It is usually found in fields, gardens, and at forest edges and ranges from southern Canada throughout most of the United States to northern Mexico, but is absent in the Great Basin and western Texas".
