Found this little Dun Skipper on the ground on one of the trails this morning. I put my finger next to it and it crawled up on my hand. I put it on a Joe-Pye Weed leaf. I was happy to be able to keep the dogs from trampling it!

Where do you find such well-trained subjects? Crawling up on your hand, indeed. It would have taken off at light-speed had I come within a meter of it! V

Sharp shot of this little guy. Nice that he jumped onto your hand!

It wouldn't win a prize for colour, dun indeed, but it is a neat little skipper nevertheless, and photographed well.
