This is the second silver-spotted skipper I’ve seen recently. When I did get a clear shot, it was flying off but did display some of the silver that it’s known for.

I love these skippers, there always seems to be one that holds court on our deck railing every summer, and he is very territorial… even chases hummingbirds, lol!

That must be fun to watch 😊. I’ve only seen one rarely, I’d like to see one face on.

I always look for him and his morning acrobatics. I’ve not very good at sneaking up on butterflies, so rarely attempt a photo. 😉

While it is great to see the slither of silver, I am intrigued by the flower it has just left: an interesting colour and shape.

I like the flower’s frazzled look 😊. I believe it’s wild bergamot.
