This insignificant little guy is about 3/4 inch in length excluding the antennae and seems particularly fond of geraniums. There were dozens on a bed of them in Cairo although none of the plants were in flower.

This is a skipper (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae); likely in the subfamily Hesperiinae - see http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tracy.mann/Pygsk.jpg for an example from the Mediterranean Region.
