Creature Identification - Fiery Skipper

Here are a couple photos of a fiery skipper (Hylephila phyleus) that has been hanging around our flower garden with some of its friends. They especially love the zinnias and bachelor buttons.



Skippers are of the family Hesperioidea. They resemble moths and are closely related to butterflies.
