Skippers are interesting. They are not moths but they are not in the same scientific superfamily than the rest of the other butterflies. They are generally referred to as butterflies.
Hey ForestDragon! Thanks, again, for all the help and thank you so much for helping move the skipper out of the wrong mission. I have never heard of a skipper before!
Hi Jim, I moved this out of the Moths of the World mission for you, since it is not a moth. Very nice capture!
