TODAY'S FACT IS
Did you know that the Fiery Skipper (Hylephila phyleus) is a butterfly that can be found form Canada down into Argentina? Populations in the northern hemisphere often migrate north in the summers. These are quick, agile flyers, making them hard to catch and identify.

A hungry skipper enjoying a delicious sip of nectar from a coneflower! This individual was very keen on getting every last drop of nectar it could from this flower, spinning around and crawling all over it, inadvertently giving me a look at it from every angle. I love skippers from the front—they look like stuffed animals. They have enough fluff elsewhere on their body to pass as one from any angle, honestly, but their face is just so round it's ridiculous!

Cute, lil’ fiery one. Had been trying to get it my whole shift but too many customers were around.
