Re: GESO: Tiny Butterflies
Nice shots - good lighting and sharpness. I've chased those quite a bit and they are indeed quite fast. Can't help much with the ID. The silver spotted skipper has a very prominent white mark on the underside of the rear wings and orange bands on the top side. Otherwise there are many species of folded wing skippers with a basic rusty-brown coloration, differing only in the details of the wing spots. Mark Daniel J.

Thanks, Alan. There are several species of skippers, and many are quite similar and difficult to distinguish, one from another.
