White-spotted Skipper from Above

The same insect as yesterday's post, this time looking down on it from above and getting a good look at its beautiful wings and body.

 

Check out the red stripes and wooly hair on its body!

I like the patterns and colors of the wings, too.

 

Resting on Milkweed leaves for about 20 seconds, this Skipper then flew off into the woods.

 

Every summer I discover new insects, new flowers, new natural wonders... What a joy.
