The skippers are still sunning themselves out front. Now that it's cooler, they actually hold still on occasion. Last week at the museum there was a family looking at the chrysalises and I heard one of them say they liked the Long-Tailed Skipper (we have pictures of the butterflies next to the chrysalis). So when they came inside the flight cage I showed them one that was sunning himself like this one. I told them it was pretty rare to see one holding still and we all "oohed" and "ahhed" over the turquoise coloring.
