| Thanks! I thought he/she was a moth at first because it was so tiny, then I noticed the wings were folded like a butterfly. I had never seen such a tiny little butterfly before, lol. He was on my meyer lemon tree, resting on a leaf, when I first noticed him, then he flew and landed on ground. too cute! |

| The wing posture here is typical of the "folded-wing" (paper-airplane style) skippers. Then there are the "flat-wing" skippers. Noticing details like this will help you to identify many moths/butterflies. |
