Bolivia keeps delivering beautiful butterflies for our group. Here's another phone pic just sent back of a lovely Firetip.

One for #SkipperSaturday

Millet Skipper (Pelopidas thrax) for #SkipperSaturday & #Leptember.

It's not brightly coloured but I really do like this robust little species. Oh, and just look at that unfeasibly long proboscis!

Gene Simmons eat your heart out! 👅

Compared to these stunning skippers from the Greenwings Tours participants, my skippers look a little drab but all skippers are special in their own way: Small (Thymelicus sylvestris), Essex (T. lineola), Large (Ochlodes sylvanus) & Silver-spotted (Hesperia comma)
