Silver-spotted skipper butterfly (Epargyreus clarus)

Ottawa East

Shown with the wings open. The 'silver spots' are visible when the wings are closed or when the wings are opened and photographed from the other side! Probably our biggest skipper in this region.

A handsome skipper and excellent macro. I especially like its checkerboard fringe.

That is certainly an unusual looking Skipper by British standards.
