I was busy watching the Roseate Spoonbills across the pond when this fellow grabbed my attention almost at my feet.
He was busy probing the most delicate flowers all the while showing off his luminous blue-green colors.
Skippers tend to hold their wings together more than butterflies and I didn’t get a full spread shot.

Beautiful subject and background!
Thank you, Belinda! We are going to the same place tomorrow and I’m hoping to see one again.
Such amazing clicks! The colors in the pictures are lovely. 😊
Thank you!
That second shot is gorgeous, showing his colors!
That turquoise color is quite something.
