Peck’s Skipper~ Polites peckius

 

Howdee all,

While flower shopping at Salem Country Gardens with the family I saw this little skipper.

I didn’t know what kind it was.

I was intending to look it up on the internet.

But before I did that..

I posted a cropped version of this on facebook.

A few friends responded with the ID

Thanks Paul and James!

 

I copied the interaction here..
