I saw this little guy while Dad was bringing the truck around to pick us up in front of the mall.

We had to stop by Lowe's so you know I checked out the garden center. And I found a Silver-Spotted Skipper!

I was taking a picture of Echinacea "Cheyenne Spirit" for the database when I noticed a Gray Hairstreak on it.

On the way home, we pulled over so I could pick some Queen Anne's Lace for my Black ST cats. And I saw more Silver-Spotted Skippers. I know thistle isn't something most people want growing in their yard, but it really attracts the butterflies. I had three Silver-Spotted Skippers on them! I circled them so you can tell. Hilarious!
