[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
In zoology, skipper or skipper butterfly is the common name for any of the butterflies comprising the family Hesperiidae, characterized by antennae clubs hooked backward, stocky bodies, and typically quick, darting flight habits, which is the source of their name. They also differ from the true butterflies of the family Papilionoidea by generally having stronger wing muscles and better eyes. There are about 4,000 recognized species of skippers and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity occurring in the tropical regions of Central and South America.(NWEncyclopedia). |
