Backstory

I believe this little feller is a tropical checkered skipper (Pyrgus oilers), but someone will let me know if I got that wrong. Its little brown and whitish mottling can make it hard to pick out against in the straw of a post-summer paddock. This guy’s wings have seen better days, but he was still flying when he stopped by to pose for me.
