Whether it’s public park space or an #OmniMeadow, #OmniWorkshop designs landscapes which support pollinators. It is always exhilarating to find wildlife utilizing the plants we specify, especially in formerly barren urban sites.

Polites peckius, the Peck's skipper, is a North American butterfly in the family Hesperiidae (skippers), subfamily Hesperiinae (grass skippers). This skipper ranges across Canada from British Columbia, as far north as Cartwright, Labrador; Moar Lake, Ontario; Leaf Rapids, Manitoba; and the Hay River area in Alberta. In the US, it ranges in most of the northern and central states, except on the west coast. Once Google eye and Wikipedia said all that; I'm not sure about the name, got results for Fiery Skipper also. #fieryskipper #pecksskipper #skipper #insectos #insect #insects #closeup #closeupphotography #naturaleza #naturallightphotography #naturelovers #nature #outdoorphotography #naturallight #lantana #mariposa #butterfliesofinstagram #butterflies #lumixg85 #lumix #lumixphotocontest2023 A four thirds system allows me to use any weight a lens brings.

A year of change for the Orange Township Hall Park wetland and fishing pond! A little over a year ago, we facilitated at wildlife relocation from the existing pond (which required dredging) to neighboring wetland and pond sites. The pond was later drained and work began in the reshaping of the banks and expanding the adjacent wetland. Construction was completed in the spring of 2023 and the wetland was planted with the help of local volunteers shortly after. It may look a little scrappy, but that’s to be expected of young conservation sites. The brown you see is the senescence of the cover crop. This is a temporary ground cover that stabilizes soil while native seed takes a bit longer to germinate. We expect this site to be bustling with amphibians, insects, and reptiles in the coming years. Let us know if you make any fun or curious observations there! #madscientistassociates #makingadifference #orangetownship #community #wetlands #conservation #volunteer #wildliferescue #nativeplants #bumblebee #pecksskipper

Annual pollinator post! For the past few years I’ve tried to share my favorite pictures I’ve taken of pollinators and/or beneficial insects near the end of the growing season. Usually I post them a bit earlier, but on reflection I think the last day before fall begins might be more apt! #lastdayofsummer #pollinators #beneficialinsects #swallowtailbutterfly #whitespottedsablemoth #pecksskipper #goldenrodsoldierbeetle #bumblebee #honeybee #sweatbee #allthebees #homegarden #naturalgardening
I’ve been really enjoying taking pictures of the skippers visiting my flower beds this fall. I think they are the most adorable little creatures.

We're back off-cape, missing Hurricane Lee there but watching its path closely! I've not paid much attention to the pollinators in our small pollinator garden patch, but yesterday, the sight of a skipper caught my eye and I spend a few minutes checking it out. I was delighted to recognize several pollinators from the Cape, and also see a few new ones! Thanks @lazygardenerny for this beautiful and productive patch! Did you know flies are important pollinators, too? Not just butterflies, moths, and bees! Thanks to the @inaturalistorg community for ID help! 1. Peck's Skipper (Polites peckius) 2. Black-shouldered Drone Fly (Eristalis dimidiata) - this was a new one for me! 3. Common Eastern Bumblebee (Bombus impatiens) 4. Transverse-banded Flower Fly (Eristalis transversa) 5.

Today our Education Coordinator, Katherine Humphries, found this little friend in our gardens! We were able to narrow this tiny cutie down to some kind of Skipper, a family of small butterflies that are named after their speedy, darting flight. They can fly at a whopping 37 miles per hour, making them the fastest family of butterflies! There are 3,500+ species of Skippers across the entire world, and dozens of those species reside in Maryland, so it's tough to figure out exactly which species we have in this picture, but our best guess is that this is a Peck's Skipper. If you think you have a better ID, let us know in the comments below! #historicsotterley #marylandmuseums #maryland #southernmaryland #marylandinsects #skipperbutterfly #pecksskipper #butterfly

Today we have a some #butterflies for you! Or, as a lepidopterist I know prefers to say, some day-flying moths. These individuals are Peck's Skippers (𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘶𝘴). Skippers (family #Hesperiidae) are separated from other butterflies by their hook-tipped antennae (seen faintly in picture 3). They also have a tendency to hold their hindwings at a 45-degree angle to their forewings when perched. Unlike other butterflies, they have no wing-coupling structures that would keep their sets of wings aligned. Skippers are numerous and hard to tell apart. In this case, note the unequal size of the yellow spots on the hindwing (best seen in picture 2). This helps us tell this species apart from the similar Long Dash (𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤) which has spots of equal size. Most of the time, I'm happy just to call them skippers and move on! This species ranges across most of the northern U.S. and southern Canada, so lots of North Americans have a chance to see them sipping nectar from clovers and thistles in the summer and fall (and apparently ironweed (𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 sp.), as seen in picture 1). Happy bugging! #entomology #naturalist #pawoods #pawildlife #skippers #pecksskipper
