Winged

Fellow 365er and dear friend, Deanna, and I spent a little time in Jonesborough, Tennessee today.... this little guy was visiting the Butterfly Garden at Pliny Fisk Site and Monarch Waystation... so were we! Can anyone identify this winged beauty? He was only about an inch long!

Can't identify it I'm afraid, but it's fascinating

I think this is a type of skipper butterfly. Gorgeous detail and composition! http://www.cirrusimage.com/skipper_photos.htm

@kathyladley Thanks, Kathy! I had not seen this double winged variety before... your link makes me think it may be a Delaware or Woodland Skipper!

[Cindy McFarland]

I have no idea but you sure got a great close up of him!
