Sleeping butterfly

The Nature Conservancy, Cold Spring Harbor, NY. I found this skipper while hiking through a wood. Skippers are normally very active and skittish. I was able to get my lens within a few inches for this hand-held shot and it never flinched. I assume it was asleep, as it was after 6:00 PM.
