Silver-spotted Skipper Butterfly...
...a must view in large size.
Skipper Butterflies comprise nearly 3,000 species worldwide, 250 of which call North America home. Skippers are named for their rapid, erratic flight. Skippers differ from the true butterflies in their proportionately larger bodies, smaller wings, and hooked antennae, among many other structural differences.
The skipper family is further divided into subfamilies: grass, intermediate, giant, spread-wing, and firetip skippers.
