Silver Spotted Skipper #WordlessWednesday

Recently, I've seen this small butterfly on my sweet pea plants. 

My built in iPhone photo app identified this as a silver spotted skipper.
This butterfly, Epargyreus clarus has a wide range in the United States.  It seems to prefer flowers that are blue, red, pink, or purple, and you can learn more about them here.

I've seen several of these little ones on my sweet pea flowers.  I've seen so few butterflies this summer that their visits are a joy.
 
I hope you enjoyed this one, too.

    Pretty butterfly. It's so nice to see them, and they have such short lives.
