[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Skippers, unlike the members of the other four butterfly families, are not considered to be "true butterflies." They have large, wide bodies relative to their wing size, except for the so-called "spread-winged" skippers (sub-family Pyrginae), some of which look much more like the true butterflies. The other skippers are in the sub-family Hesperiinae.

But contrary to what their name suggests, skippers don't generally have a leisurely, bouncy flight pattern. Folded-wing skippers (also called "grass skippers") can move very fast in any direction they please in warm enough weather, and the Long-Tailed Skipper moves faster than any other skipper or butterfly I've ever seen: if you've ever seen one going down a beach, it's hard to keep the word "bullet" from coming to mind. If it weren't for the time they put into courtship displays, you probably wouldn't see too many skipper photos anywhere! (Wikipedia)

Very nice shot again, Dan! I always wanted to make a shot like this, but never had the opportunity of catching two skippers (or any butterflies for that matter) to stay in one frame. Ang galing ng colors! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend tomorrow!
