I have searched til my eyes are crossing and can't I.D. this one.
The body looks alternately green or more blue depending on the light.

It's so distinctive, someone must know it.
Thanks!

Long-tailed Skipper... I think it's the only one that looks like that, not sure though

Thanks so much for the I.D. and the links! Now that I know what it is, it does have the shape of a skipper - but definitely not the kind I usually see.
