Yesterday I noticed a different butterfly on my butterfly bush in Dustin’s garden. I took several photos and then researched to find out what type he is. Turns out he is a Silver Spotted Skipper. Skippers are common butterflies and are usually solid brown or grey. But this one was beautiful. With the silver (white) spot on his dark brown body, I could see him from inside the house. Very pretty butterfly. And he allowed a few photos once he got used to me and the camera. I never know what I may see in the garden. If you look closely you can see his tongue is out and curled up, very cool to see.

Wow! Never spotted one like this
They are stunning up close.
Skippers are butterflies of the family Hesperiidae.
I might have seen it but I thought it was a type of moth
Definitely looks like a moth
Skippers butterflies of the family Hesperiidae.
If I have, I don’t remember. But I’m not willing to rule it out…
This one was different with the white/silver spots against the brown.
I don’t know if it was different or the same, I can’t remember
Most likely I have never seen such a butterfly.
Probably not in your world Albert.
