Skippers

For a long time I avoided taking pictures of skippers. They are so small, and I had a hard time identifying them. But the more pictures I took, the more fascinated I became with the tiny details that distinguished the different species. I hope you enjoy this gallery.

Sandy, Nice job on these Skippers. They have such big eyes and so much fun to photograph. I have seen many of these butterflies in my backyard.
