Northern cloudywing (Thorybes pylades)

These small, dark skippers are relatively common, but I find them difficult to photograph as they flit off the minute one gets close. Unlike many skippers, they tend to be fairly much of a generalist when it comes to hostplants and even habitats.

I find all skippers flit off before I can shoot them. :) Wonderful and detailed photo of this one. V.
