I was disappointed that I only saw two species at a place where I usually see many. However, the silver-spotted skippers were entertaining, landing in many unusual places, like on a yellow rose and on my right arm. It was fun to stare at the skipper up close and personal when it was on my arm, but I couldn't take a photo since my camera was also in my right hand.
