Dun Skipper (Euphyes Vestris)
Oh yes, I was in heaven when I saw this dun skipper on my white cone flowers! I am a sucker for butterflies, and I will spend lot of time chasing after them for a shot of a good image.
As you know, butterflies/skippers/bees only come around in the summer months for me here in Michigan; and usually July and August are the hottest months. So when I followed them or stood in heat, I sweat buckets just to get a few shots if they stopped long enough for me to snap.
If you want more information on this dun skipper, you can find the information here! I don't like to rehash what have been written by other professionals.

Lovely capture Icy. I haven’t been able to get a shot at the few butterflies around here. Last year the Painted Lady butterflies came in September.
Thank you, Joanne! I am waiting for the Painted Lady to visit too..
Great photos. The flowers photos are beautiful and the skipper makes them even better :)
Thank you, @steven-patrick!
