Open Hobomok Skipper: This species is always found near woodlands, forest edges, and clearings and is common in the Toronto area. One day in High Park, Toronto, a Hobomok Skipper butterfly was feeling particularly nimble. He was zipping around, showing off his ability to skip from flower to flower. Another butterfly, a large Monarch, noticed his speed and asked, "Hey, why are you in such a rush? Trying to skip the line at the nectar bar?" The Hobomok Skipper paused on a leaf and replied, "You nailed it! I'm trying to skip the line before the Great Blue Heron shows up at Grenadier Pond". See, next image Alt text for end of story.

Closed "But that's a pond problem, not a park problem for us flyers!" laughed the Monarch. The Skipper adjusted his antennae and said, "Well, I just don't want to skipper a beat in my busy schedule! I have to be fast, you know!" The Monarch just shook his head and said, "You flutter my heart with your terrible puns."

Is it a butterfly? A moth? No, it’s a Hobomok! (And it’s totally un-bee-lievable)
