Silver Spotted Skipper (Epargyreus clarus)
I looked all over for a picture with a SSSk with pink spot on the lower wing, and couldn't find any like it. Then I realized that the silver spot is so reflective that it picked up the vivid pink color from the Dianthus.
I thought I had some rare form of Skipper here, LOL!

Great shot! I love the motion, color and view of his environment.
Thank you Linda!
This year I have had the privledge of hosting them too! The caterpillars are very cute and incredible architects.
