Billy Joe writes, "Our Vinca which is actually a species of Periwinkle, furnished a welcome meal for this Silver Spotted Skipper in the morning sun recently. Skippers have been described as a species that is a go between of butterflies and moths. This skipper has its proboscis sunk deeply in search of nectar and dined upon every single blossom according to my observation." Comments | Permalink
