Curlicue skipper

Seen at the Franciscan Monastery in Northeast DC.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

I've been working on skipper identification of late - Australian not American species of course - so this is an inspiring macro, and I love that coiled tongue.

Nice catch, with the trunk of the butterfly. It’s quite rare to see it from that angle. V
