As long as *they* can make the necessary distinction, I don't see the
problem.

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

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.

Our butterfly bushes and echinaceas attract a lot of Monarchs, Viceroys,
Swallowtails and
Cabbage Whites.  Mixed in with them occasionally are tiny brown and orange
or yellow butterflies that move very quickly, and because of their size and
erratic flight, they are extremely difficult to photograph.  Luckily, some
took a liking to the Sedum heads that are just starting to mature, giving
me the opportunity to grab a few shots of the little buggers.

I am not certain, but I think they are skippers, perhaps silver-spotted,
