Skipper


Skipper

Skippers are considered an intermediate form between butterflies and moths. The head and small, stout body of the adult tend to resemble those of a moth. However, when at rest, most skippers hold the first pair of wings vertically, as butterflies do.

Great picture!
"With its wings folded, the platform sinks, carrying the Lepidopteran down to the hangar deck, and PriFly signals the next skipper to land!"
