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.

Thanks this is the sort of thing that's impossible to describe. They look like little jet planes

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!"
