3. Almost seems...

like he is hamming it up for the camera

5. He did! When he went to the white fence he did so to pose for me. I believe that.

He was frustrated with me, flew to the fence, sat there for several minutes, and then went back to the flowers.

4. you make them look pretty cute!

Love the side view of the flower and the moth in the first one.

It is too hot here to venture outside........surely it is there too? Or maybe you got up at the crack of dawn................

6. Very hot here. I'm fairly tolerant of the heat .

I go out when the critters are most likely to be there. So, throughout the day.

7. K&R! He's both pretty and photogenic!

Great photos, show his personality... Is a Skipper a moth or a butterfly? When we'd see moths on the windows at night because they were attracted to the light, my Dad used to say they were aliens looking in at us, LOL. To this day, if I find a moth in the house, I catch it in a cup and take it outside.

8. Thanks! A Skipper is a butterfly. They call'em skippers because of how fast they 'skip' from flower

to flower.

9. All very nice, but your second

shot is my favorite. And he does indeed look like he's showing off!
