This little Pecks Skipper is defending his territory atop this native Wild Indigo (Baptisia australis). It is in the Pea Family (Fabaceae) and has beautiful blue flowers. Wild Indigo can get up to 4 feet tall in full sun (I have some in part shade that is doing okay), the soil is moist and well-drained. This plant has a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that fix nitrogen from the soil. It also prefers acidic soil. #pennsylvania #pennsylvania_wild #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #nativeplants #baptisiaaustralis #wildindigo #panativeplants #lancasterpa #lancaster #ephrataPA #ephrata #hopemeadow #skipper #pecksskipper #pecksskipperbutterfly #butterfly

Caught up with some Peck’s Skippers today. Their beautiful, checkered hindwings are one of the distinctive features of these butterflies. This mating pair was right beside a meadow that had just been mowed and sprayed, which was previously full of milkweed, dogbane, thistles, and all sorts of native nectar. Just a few weeks before I had come to this site and witnessed Meadow and Variegated Fritillaries, Monarch’s, and sulphurs by the dozens. It was a shattering feeling to see the dried up, yellow field, but there was something about seeing this pair that gave me hope. They were tucked away in a little corner that was spared from mowing. We all have the choice to buy organic foods to put an end to pesticide use in farmlands, create native plant gardens on our properties to help support biodiversity and pollinators, make daily choices to limit our pollution and eco footprints, and vote green to our best judgements. Although these decisions may seem inconsequential in the moment, it’s those decisions that could make the difference between the life or death of a butterfly, the protection or destruction of natural habitat, or the future or extinction of a species. #pecksskipper #pecksskipperbutterfly #butterflies #butterfliesofinstagram #helpsaveourplanet #helpsaveourpollinators #pollinatorgarden #nababutterflies #salemcounty #oldmanscreek
That Harvard connection… The Peck's skipper butterfly was named in honor of William Dandridge Peck (1763–1822), a Harvard natural history professor, by well-known British entomologist William Kirby. Peck was the first native-born professional entomologist in the United States. Peck’s Skippers are abundant here in Massachusetts, and from 1600-1800 likely benefited from the land clearing as European settlers developed an agricultural economy.

Have not seen one of these before. #pecksskipperbutterfly ?
A tiny Peck’s Skipper resting on a leaf in our butterfly garden. Adults fly from May through October. Females lay eggs singly on grasses. The caterpillars construct leaf shelters close to the ground where they overwinter in both caterpillar and chrysalis stages. Larvae feed on a variety of grasses. The adults visit many kinds of flowers, including clovers, members of the sunflower family, milkweeds, butterfly bush, and more. #pecksskipperbutterfly #pecksskipper #butterfly #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #butterflyphotography #butterflygarden #pollenators #pollenatorgarden #homegrownnationalpark #granbyct

I dont catch this everyday! Lots of shoots this past Spring, Summer, and Fall to look throough! One if my favorite shots this year doing insect photography. 2 Butterflies mating. I looked for hours to figure out the name of the butterfly, found it and forgot it after all this time. Now i must look again for what they are called... Shouldnt have taken so long. (10 minutes later after surfing through search history) I'VE GOT IT! It's called a Peck's Skipper OR Polites peckius (scientific name). #pecksskipper #pecksskipperbutterfly #pecksskippermoth #moth #moths #butterfly #butterflies #butterfliesofinstagram #butterflies🦋 #butterfliesoftheworld #mating #matingseason #wildlife #insect #insects #macro #macrophotography #smallworld #outdoors #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #naturephotographer #naturephotos

Was happy to see some dun skippers for the first time at our butterfly bush today (first 3 photos) - tiny about a half an inch maybe. It's usually just been sachem skippers as pictured after along with an awesome looking peck's skipper. Also a variegated fritillary that I was only able to get a few sun soaked wing shots of before it ran away from me. . . . #skipperbutterfly #dunskipper #variegatedfritillary #butterfliesofinstagram #butterflies #politespeckius #pecksskipperbutterfly #sachemskipper
First time I've seen a clouded sulphur and a polites peckius skipper (Peck's skipper) at our butterfly bush. The next photos are of a conventionally less "pretty" sachem skipper and a more conventionally "pretty" monarch, but I love sachem skippers. . . . #cloudedsulphur #cloudedsulphurbutterfly #politespeckius #pecksskipperbutterfly #butterfliesofinstagram #skipperbutterfly #sachemskipper #monarchbutterfly #insectsofinstagram #insectogram
