Monday Mystery 071910
For those who missed a post on the Saturday Butterfly Walk, here's this week's mystery, taken in the butterfly garden. I have seen this guy in my backyard as well. Very tiny, very beautiful.
Another view follows (I sure hope it's the same guy).

It’s Peck’s Skipper. No, it’s the Yellowpatch Skipper. Actually, it’s either, depending upon which book you look at. Peck’s is the older name; Yellowpatch the new. So call it what you will; it’s a nice one.
