7 Peck’s Skippers
1 Least Skipper
1 Unidentified Skipper
As you know, I got some nice Flutterby shots on our trip. Haven't done anything
yet with trip photos but browse them.
A couple of times as we traveled and I shot madly, I thought I'd been giving Skippers short shrift in my efforts to
capture more 'spectacular' things.
So, Tuesday afternoon I was sittin' out in the yard when a Skipper flaunted itself right in front of me. Then it waited
while I went in to get GX7 with 75-300 and mount a 10 mm extension tube. Think it wanted its picture taken? :-)

It then proceeded to pose while drinking.

And give a profile view. <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=14600>
Other than the ends of the antennae, then look like your shot.
A couple were out this afternoon, but much too busy courting to pause and pose.
I hope I've paid my debt for Skippers for now. ;-)
