おもしろい事実

Skipper butterflies got their name because of their super speedy, "skipping" way of flying!

Their antennae have a unique little hook at the very end, making them look like miniature golf clubs.

Thymelicus caterpillars build cozy shelters by rolling up grass blades with silk to stay safe.

When a Thymelicus butterfly rests, it often holds its forewings and hindwings at different angles, like a jet plane!
