What a talented model! These guys and Zabulon Skippers often sit on the same patch of leaves in the sun and spread their wings. It makes for excellent photos since they have a really high tolerance for me getting up in their business! Clouded Skippers have some gorgeous chocolate brown wings, and this guy really wanted me to know that!
Skipper dipper. I wish I was better at ID’ing stuff right off but I’ve been second-guessing myself on some things.

A small, unassuming skipper perched on a grass blade, making the most of the calm before a summer storm! I hadn't been able to go out in a few days because of the weather, and I got a 30-or-so minute period during midday before a storm hit to get some pictures, so I took my chances. I didn't find too much, but this guy made the venture worth it! This individual was a great model, perching in the brightest area it could, as skippers prefer to do. It didn't show off its wings at all due to the lack of sunlight, but even a view of the underwing is nice to see with these guys!

Been seeing a lot of clouded skippers. More than I’m used to. Then again, they were there the whole time and I was noticing them more simply because of me taking up photography.
