Little Skipper Butterfly

: Little Skipper Butterfly; Today my son took me up to the little mountains where we live. It was around a 17 mile trip with the last 6 miles on a dirt road. After just a short walk we came to a small stream with a nice sized pond. It is strange to come onto water out in the desert. Anyway with the water there was lots of wildlife from birds, tadpoles, frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, lizards, and even signs of the wild burros. Well I got this shot of this little butterfly getting a snack from the wild flowers.; Equipment:
Canon - EOS Digital Rebel XTi (a.k.a. 400D) 10.1 Megapixel, SLR, Digital Camera Body (Black)
Canon - EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom; Created by: Bubbalinn.; Tools Used: Adobe Elements 2.0 Shutter speed 1/500 Aperture F/6.3 ISO 200 Focal Length 225.00mm; Created on: Sep 28th 2008; Image Views: 16; Average Views per Day: 0.3; Image Number: 51985; A large image is available of Little Skipper Butterfly.

Hi Carol and Ann, Thanks very much for checking out my photo and for your nice comments. Thanks Carol for naming this little guy, I changed the name. I have always enjoyed these little butterflies, you can sneak up on them and catch them between your fingers with there wings closed most of the time.
