It’s another insect! Aren’t you excited? This one is a skipper, a silver-spotted skipper (Epargyreus clarus) to be precise. It’s a fairly large skipper and quite common, although I’ve only seen a half dozen or so of them so far. We have dozens upon dozens of smaller grass skippers (subfamily Hesperiinae). It’s a busy time in the garden right now. This skipper is on the buddleia, as you can clearly see.
