LindaTX8, I was going to post for a confirmed ID on what I think is a long tailed skipper I've just been seeing on my Veronica and Pineapple Sage, and I saw your posting here, which pretty much does it! He has a beautiful teal colour when you look at him from the top, but I had a hard time getting a photo, he wouldn't sit still for long. He seems to like the Veronica a lot, he kept taking quick flights away but then would come right back.
And bordersandjacks, you talked about the sulphurs on your pineapple sage. Mine too, very popular with the little yellow guys!! I'd never grown it before, now I'll never be without it! The hummers loved it too but they seem to all have left as of this week.
