STOPS ALONG THE WAY

SILVER-SPOTTED SKIPPER

Skipper

I’m more accustomed to seeing orange skippers (the Least or European) in my area so I was pleased to see this new variety. As the summer progresses, many butterflies linger as they feed and don’t seem to be bothered by the passing photographer.

    Sweet capture, Belinda. I’ve been seeing these, too. They seem enamored with the Daisy Fleabane, which is having a bumper year.

    This is a lovely composition, Belinda, with the purple flower and grass spear highlighted by the elegant skipper.

    That’s a very good thing, as once these guys take off, they are awfully hard to follow.
