Skipper from upside

This little butterfly has hair on its back.

And its wings are like a fighter's.

They enable skipper to fly fast.

Sucking nectar of bushkiller flower.

Is that tasty?

This plant belongs to the grape family but few of them seeds.

And, these flowers don't looks tasty.

There may be a difference between human and insect.

They fly very quickly.

A skipper sucking leek nectar

She didn't fly away nevertheless I closed to her.

She was against to wind to suck nectar.

Feeding was important than her crisis.

Her straw was very long, so she can suck nectar of other flowers without walking or flying.

Much energy may be required to fly around.
