I’ve seen fewer butterflies this summer, as other bloggers have mentioned. So I was happy to see this one even though it was turned away from the camera 😏 . I believe it’s a silver spotted skipper.

Great image of this Skipper, Belinda! It looks like it’s puckering up for a kiss. 😂

Nice shot, Belinda. More host plants needed for butterfly larva!
I have quite a few silver-spotted skippers. There is always one every year that uses our deck railing as a morning sunning spot. Skippers are a fun little butterfly. 🙂

We had a paucity of butterflies during our summer too.

It seems it’s a widespread problem. I hope things improve.

I was just thinking this same the other day: I’ve seen fewer butterflies than usual so far…

Hopefully that will change as summer continues.

The drop in butterfly numbers is worrisome although lately I have seen quite a few in my neighbour’s garden – there are lots of flowers there. Great capture, Belinda. 😊
