In other bug news, the Little Brown Jobs of the butterfly world have arrived too.
<pout> The skippers drive me insane - I can't identify many of them, and I don't see how anybody else can either. </pout>
I remembered that I posted a query on BugGuide last year, and look!, don't you think this is the very same butterfly? Well, OK, not the same individual, but the same species? I still think it's a Crossline Skipper. Unless it's a Tawny-Edged...

Yea, identifying bugs "bugs" me, too...:) They are a nice benefit of gardening, eh?
Lisa: I thought I was doing pretty well on IDing butterflies, until I got to the skippers. Then I tried dragonflies and felt even more humble. Sometimes I think I should just learn to say "dragonfly" or "butterfly" and let it go at that.
