Woodland Skipper (Ochlodes sylvanoides) butterfly in the mint patch

This is a handsome Woodland Skipper (Ochlodes sylvanoides) butterfly resting on a flower cluster in the mint patch of the garden. These butterflies are are quite plain below - see this photo. This photo shows that they are more interesting above. (San Marcos Pass, 21 August 2017)

 

The eclipse happened this morning, and I even got a photo through the clouds. It was curious that the traffic on the highway was terrible - and the internet traffic was also terrible. Was everyone on the mountain trying to stream the eclipse at the same time?
