YOu call this a "Skipper Lunch."  It looks like a butterfly... Is it?  What is a skipper?

I like the picture though.  The foreground has nice sharp lines, the background smudged.  I like it!

Ah, now, there's the background!  That contrast is so very sharp - great!

A skipper is a lepidopteran, a member of the same group as butterflies and moths.  But it has a clubbed antenna with a little hook on the end. 

Most of them seem a bit drab, but they are interesting little creatures.
