おもしろい事実

Dingy Skipper caterpillars build a silken tent from leaves to hide and spend winter in.

They often bask on bare ground, spreading their wings flat to soak up sun like a tiny solar panel!

Unlike many butterflies, their antennae have a distinctive, backward-pointing hook at the tip!

When perched, they hold their hindwings flat and forewings at an angle, unique for butterflies!
