SILVER-SPOTTED SKIPPER June 29, 2020 by belindagroverphotography 18 Comments 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. Like this:Like Loading...

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

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

It seems to be the case with other insects too.
