おもしろい事実

Caterpillars munch on various grasses, but adult skippers only drink flower nectar.

Skippers have thick bodies and hooked antennae, often leading people to mistake them for moths!

Their name "skipper" perfectly describes their rapid, skipping flight pattern!

Unlike butterflies, skippers often hold their forewings at a different angle than hindwings.
