Skipper
White-striped longtail, Chioides albofasciatus, at the Wildflower Center in Austin, 6/11/21. This is a very un-butterfly-like skipper in both appearance and sometimes aggressive-looking flight habits. The first time I ever saw one I thought it might be some kind of stinging insect. Such misunderstandings no doubt usually benefit the species.
