#pecksskipper

Peck's Skipper (Polites peckius) in my backyard this month. This beautiful species prefers open grassy spaces, I've seen it a few times in my own backyard. Peck's Skipper is named after William Dandridge Peck, one of the earliest American Entomologists. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #pecksskipper #polites #politespeckius #hesperiidaebutterfly #skipperbutterflyphotography #macrobutterfly #macrocaptures #macrophotography #insects_of_our_world #insectlove #backyardbugs #backyard #gardenbug #norfolkwild #blognorfolk (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQf4h8iA7mw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today our Prairie Blazing Star (Liatris pycnostachya) was visited by a Peck’s skipper butterfly (Polites peckius). We plant natives to help all different types of pollinators find a home, fill their bellies and rest on their long journeys! #choosenativeplants #prairieblazingstar #pecksskipper (at Tinley Park, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Z41K8BsFAnT-4sC59ZUQKqJwG5oSg24QYLzY0/?igshid=15pxlo6q1uxh
