This is a Texas powdered skipper (Systasea pulverulenta). It's a skipper, not the most stunning butterfly, but it is my 590th identified insect species. Always nice to find a lifer Lepidoptera, and even though it's still hot out it's nice to see some signs of fall coming.

The heat seems to have forced many butterflies to take cover but the whites have been out & about.. This shot is of a green-veined white butterfly taking shelter in the hedgerow fern

A butterfly caught raiding the cat food dish. Was it after cat food or condensation? It has a beautiful subtle color and texture.

All' Isola del #giglio ho visto per la prima volta un #lepidottero che credo sia la Sfinge Colibrì, qualcuno me lo conferma?
P.S. Scusate la musichetta ma altrimenti ci sarebbe stata la mia voce e vi assicuro che è peggio

Lovely Canary-shouldered thorn (1&2) came to visit last night. Love the vivid yellow head. Compare to the plainer, slightly stubbier … but just as cute … Dusky Thorn (3&4).

2) White-point
3) Rusty dot pearl
4) Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing flashing a bit of floozy underskirt!
