Delaware Skipper

Deleware Skipper
I have read that Ohio has about 35 kinds of skipper butterflies, some of which you must dissect to identify.  This is a little skipper butterfly which commonly flies around the edge of the pond.  It is small, wingspan 26 to 30 mm, 0.98 to 1.18 in. according to Wikipedia.  It is very active, seldom sitting still.  Any movement will cause it to fly.  This shot is a product of my search for the Citrine Forktail Damselfly.
