Orange Skipper Butterfly

Taken with the Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3DG OS HSM Lens. Pentax K3m11.

 

"The butterflies in this family are from small to medium size. Their bodies are large and with relatively small wings. They are usually yellow or white in a dark brown background colour. They fly in a very rapid and jerky style, this is why they call skippers. They are not as colourful as the other four butterfly families.

 

Most of the butterflies in this family rest with the hindwings open, although a few rest with wings completely closed. Their antenna is usually hooked at the tip."
