Two weekends ago Snakeroot was the wildflower of choice for our local insects. Now nearly all of the attention is riveted upon the prolific Goldenrod.
Sunday afternoon found me spending a couple of hours photographing wildflowers and insects in an overgrown meadow. This tiny little skipper is my favorite shot from that session.

What a truly bizarre creature.
I love the composition and the way the goldenrod dip down under the "weight" of the skipper.
Tell Mrs. Salty many thanks for her nice comment. Its appreciated.
This was a cute one. Great capture and lovely color :-)
Lokks like a heavy fellow :-)
Scotty: Very nice capture of the skipper, the Golderod is really prolific this year.
wonderful picture and super catch
Our supply of insects is shrinking. I see only cabbage white butterflies now. I suspect the violent winds of Hurricane Ike damaged a lot of them still here and left them unable to fly.
I published a post about squirrels and other animals and some of the problems they have. I hope you can take the time to read it. That animals suffer and we do not seem to notice seems so sad. Look at my Dances on Sunshine
Great shot and it is so hard to identify what kind of skipper..Too many..too similar..
Nice! Skippers are all over the place in our area, too.
