A Skipper! by tara11

A Skipper!

. . . I think :)
My Lantana are starting to bloom again and this little guy stopped by so that I could get some shots.
Beautiful, I like the velvet look of the green leaves, the insect seems like a cross between a bee and a butterfly, don't know which ...nice color and composition !!

@tonyjsisti @tobi Thanks so much! I thought he looked like an airplane with his 4 wings . . .

Aircraft was what came to mind for me too. Very nice macro! Especially nice when a beautiful photo introduces me to a previously unknown species.

Looks like one to me.And so cute! Check out this link. http://www.cirrusimage.com/skipper_pecks.htm
Check out (if you scroll down) the range on these...it is here, there, and everywhere...but it says "northern GA" Cool find! These do look like fighter jets.

@tara11 @espyetta Totally agree that some of these skippers look like fighter jets with one of the wings vertical! I've really come to enjoy skippers, MaryBeth. They just seem so playful and fun-loving. :)
Good capture, Tara!
