I'm not the only one who likes zinnia flowers. They really attract skipper butterflies. Click to enlarge. |
Skipper butterflies are sometimes mistaken for moths. They are small and usually drab. |
At rest they hold their wings open and angled up or spread in various jaunty ways. |
By butterfly standards they have stocky bodies and big heads. |
The name skipper comes from their habit of skipping rapidly between perches. |
So plant some zinnias. You'll get skippers! |
