Checkered

Here’s a pretty cool looking butterfly. One most might not even recognize as a butterfly because they’re so small as compared to the likes of Monarchs and Swallowtails -

The common-checkered skipper, aka, burnsius communis -

There are oodles of these black and white checkered beauties all along the walking path recently, which is spot on for this time of year; they’re right on time!

They seem to like to fly low to the ground and favor sunny open spaces and are constantly flitting about.
