to watch me dance
Hi People!
Please view in Large for best detail.
Skipper butterflies are known for their varied patterns of brown and/or orange, but mostly known for their large eyes. This one does seem to be looking at me.
I don't know what kind of skipper this is. It's dancing on Pearly Everlasting, a wildflower and butterfly magnet. Image taken in Spokane, Washington. Do any of you know what type it is?
A side comment: I have tried repeatedly to sign in for the past three days with little success. I'm so sorry to be behind in commenting on your lovely images. I'll be catching up with you in the next few days (if I am allowed to sign in).
Another side comment: It is SNOWING as I type! Ack!
I really do appreciate your comments and views! THANK YOU! Have a fantastic day!

This butterfly was injured but it was still quite attractive
Open-wing basking is a common butterfly behavior to absorb sunlight and regulate body temperature.
The Angled Castor typically rests on leaves or bare ground with wings fully open, showing its striking orange and brown patterned upperwings with characteristic wavy lines.

In its adult form, the gulf fritillary is a medium-sized butterfly that has extended forewings and a wingspan range of 6.5 to 9.5 cm. The underside of the wings is brown and speckled with silvery white dots. In contrast, the top surface layer of the wings is deep orange in color with black streaks running across. Gulf fritillaries have a chemical defense mechanism in which they release odorous chemicals in response to predator sightings. As a result, common predators learn to avoid this species.
“The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.”
~Harry Browne
Male: Bright blue and black coloration, with a slender abdomen and characteristic blue markings on segments 8–10.
Female: Typically duller in color, often greenish or brownish with less prominent markings.
Agapostemon
Some 42 species in the genus range from Canada to Argentina. All species of Agapostemon nest in the ground, sometimes in dense aggregations. In this and other communal species, multiple females share the same nest entrance, but beneath the common entrance burrow, construct their own portion of the nest. Thus each female digs her own brood cells and collects pollen and nectar to fashion the pollen ball upon which she will lay an egg.
