Description
Although I look like a moth, I am not a moth! I am not a butterfly either. I am a skipper. I was named for my quick, darting flight habits, I am ubiquitous. There are more than 3500 recognized species of skippers worldwide and most of them look frustratingly alike.
This photo, of a beautiful flower and ugly skipper, was taken in Massachusetts - Ames Park
