While photographing this Golden Skipper Echinacea today a very tiny butterfly flew unto the head. After I got home and did some research I identified it as a Least Skipper only about 3/4 to 1 inch long. The skippers are a large family of butterflies and they do bear a resemblance to moths but are classified as butterflies. This particular variety of Echinacea is a favorite of skippers I also found out.
