Nice Skipper butterfly. I remember how sometimes they'd seem to swarm around the butterfly bush outside our old house.

They usually do skip around quite a bit, but this one was quite docile and let me get pretty close to it.

Pests, indeed. Those pests are why we don't grow nearly as many roses as we used to.

My daughter loves catching these. Just the other day, one landed on her arm and stayed there for 10 minutes, even while she was riding her bicycle!

Yeah, the place we visit has a trap some distance away from the garden. It catches those little pests by the thousands. They sure do a number on certain plant species.
