Long tailed skipper by tara11

Long tailed skipper

These guys are fast! I was able to identify this guy because of the green body (which I didn't notice until I uploaded). He was also a bit bigger than the other skippers I see. Not great against the brown, but it was the best shot I got.
another really great find and capture, while I've not seen so many different varieties they are all very beautiful, !! good job !

@tonyjsisti Thanks Tony. It's funny once you start looking for photo ops, you start to see a lot more around you.
@jdr4690 Thanks Rob. It is fun to chase especially when I get a nice shot.

@tara11 Yes , You're right, that's how I came to stop at the 190 ft Cross and Stations that I posted on sept 5, after many trips cross country,and just passing this cross on the interstate, I felt compelled to stop and take some shots for the program, and was amazed at what I had been passing up....very good point you make, Thank You!

Nicely captured! He's actually got a bit of protective coloration with its wings against the leaves.
