Skippers - Camera Critters


Meow, Miss Cindi Lou Who here to bring you this week's Camera Critters. I'll bet you didn't expect to see me back so soon. I reminded mom it was my job to pick out the photos for this meme. This week I want to show you Skippers (that's what mom calls them, I say they are flutterflies).

The skippers have been all over our yard for the last few weeks. We have been seeing them on all the flowers and in the grass.


Mom says that Skippers have traits of both butterflies and moths.

Most of the ones we have seen lately have been all brown but the other day we saw this one with a blue body.

It's really fun being a kitty cause I can get to eye level with bugs and skippers and look them right in the eyes.


You can call them Skippers and I will call them flutterlies but either way they sure are cute.

To see lots more critters go to Camera Critters.

Hi Miss Cindy...did you enjoy watching the skippers today? Would you know what's that spiral thing of the skipper's mouth on the last photo? Looks like it ate something.

Hi Miss Cindi Lou Who, you are looking beautiful as always. We have been busy with Sissy's birthday so we are a little behind. I love the critter you picked, it is pretty.

licks and sniffs, Sasha

I'd like to see the frog or toad that's just about to pounce and gobble them up. Or is that just downright bad of me?

Ms Cindy Lou, tell your mama that the details of her critters are just lovely and purrfect! She is so skillful with her camera!

I haven't seen a skipper in a long time. I'm glad you did this post about them, because most people don't know that they even exist.
