Skippers are so hard for me to even try to ID..and they never sit long.. Great catch...

I think they are called Skippers for a reason. Maybe they should be called 'flitters'. MB

My Macro is Nautical And I also added a bit about a new meme I'm inviting everyone; if you'd like to join in on the challenge. Come over and find out what day on which it will take place....join me?

Hope your Monday is treating you well.

If it did not stay still very long, then you are to be doubly congratulated that you captured it so well!

Thanks for the photo. I've been trying to identify a butterfly. It's not this one but it's close enough that I think it's in the same family.
