How do you measure a Fiery Skipper?

You use an inchworm! :0)

I didn't see the inchworm at first. It's on the stem under the bud. I noticed it when I was looking at my shots. I took several more to try to get it in measuring mode.

I looked for it online. It's a Measuringworm Moth Caterpillar. I'm not sure which moth.

Thank you so very much for your kind comments and faves on yesterday's hummingbird!!! :0) It really was one for the road. The hummingbirds were gone today. Last Sunday at my Mom's, I saw at least a dozen at one time. They were everywhere. It was sad to see the empty feeders at her house today.
Beautiful

Wonderful shot - and I love your message with it. We had several hummingbirds today so I imagine they're getting ready to move out.

No wonder you didn't notice it; it's perfectly camouflaged. And the skipper is beautiful. It's taking a very long drink.
