This is a Silver-spotted Skipper. No, it’s not a moth; it’s a butterfly.

This is a Horace's Duskywing. It is a species of skipper butterfly. I don't think I have ever photographed one before.

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.
