I’m used to seeing Fiery Skippers and Silver-spotted Skippers darting and dipping about in the front yard, but today was the first time I saw a Long-tailed Skipper sipping nectar from the Zinnias.
Doesn’t take much to figure out where it gets its name from, eh?
This butterfly is not bright or flashy, but I found it to be a soft and gentle sort of lovely.
Excellent
These are lovely!
Wonderful! πππ
soft and gentle and lovely – I needed that this afternoon. Crazy work day! Thanks Kathy!
Wow, this butterfly seems like a mixture between butterfly and bird… ItΒ΄s beautiful!!! πΈπ
It doesn’t scream, “Notice me!” like so many of the beautiful butterflies do, but it has its own sort of loveliness. π
