This has been an education, as your descriptive note confused me. To me this looked like a flutterby so I asked Google to explain. Apparently they are akin, but skippers have their antennae fitted backwards.
Needless to say this is an excellent, informative and colourful photo, Pam.
But I'll say it anyway ;-)
