Sometiems I think skipper butterflies look more like moths than butterflies. This is a Silver-spotted Skipper. The pattern on the wings is really cool.

Teresa captured this photo of this Common Checkered-skipper on a hike this week. I have never photographed a checkered-skiipper before. Interesting find.

I believe this is a Hobomok Skipper. It’s a butterfly, but they sure look like a moth. Those eyes are sure interesting.

I have posted a photo of this species recently. Do you recognize it?
If you said [Silver-spotted Skipper]((https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epargyreus_clarus), you are right. There are 3500 species of skippers .. this is mindblowing. Nature is so diverse. Check out this from the Wikipedia Entry for Skipper butterflies.
