Can you roll your tongue?

I can't, but this Woodland Skipper Butterfly can.

The pretty wildflowers are on an Ironweed plant. I saw Ironweeds all the time, when I was growing up. I never really looked at one close up until today.

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my pics!!! :0)

I think this is one of the few times that I will say that the flowers are just as pretty, if not more so, than the butterfly. Beautiful focus, love the tongue.

@aj1268 The skippers aren't as pretty as some of the other butterflies, but I see more of them. I feel like their my little buddies. :0)

With the price of GOLD today, you could make a killing turning these butterflies in for cash. Gossamer wings of gold.

[Sheila]

Beautiful shot!! They are not easy to get sitting still for long!
