The Long-tailed Skipper

Yes, I'm afraid it is another butterfly. It is 98f (36.6c) and thundering, so I am going no farther from my a/c than my faithful lantana bush, that will always provide me with some kind of bee or butterfly. I have been waiting for this species to arrive, and they will be around now for the rest of the summer. I love his hairy blue back, which looks almost feathery, as does his long tail.
