Not the greatest of pictures--enjoying the lantana. Any ideas on an ID for me?
Small but Sweet..Can you ID me?
That is one of the Checkered Skippers. But whether it is the Common Checkered Skipper (http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=2012) of the White Checkered-Skipper (Pyrgus albescens) http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=2013
I couldn't begin to say. Both species are found in Texas
Thank you very much! That at least narrows it down much more where I can look up both species host plants and make sure I have them.

could also be the Tropical one given your location.
I thought I was blind because I couldn't see the little butterfly until the end of the picture. Impatient am I.
Thanks Donna and Kennedy--I will make sure I have host plants just to cover all those 3 possibilities.
Makeshi--You are so right--not a good pic, but if I cropped it anymore it was too blurry to use. Plus I'm not a great photographer either.
I got real close to mine and isn't much better than yours. It is small and skittish
I think they are camera shy.=)
here is the best shot I could get
