This species is common in our garden. The most photogenic of the skippers here I think. I've spotted it before.

Hi Tom, That's an amazing Skipper and it is completely new to me. As I am sure you know, we have lots of Skipper butterflies in the Philippines, but I don't think we have any Long-tailed species. What a great spotting!!
