North America boasts about 275 species of skippers, and some of them are very hard to tell apart. This one could be an Essex or European skipper, a small skipper—or something else entirely. Named for their habit of skipping quickly from flower to flower, skippers have broad bodies and long antennae, often clubbed at the end. These images were captured in the Kootenay region of south central British Columbia, Canada.

$Achillea millefolium, commonly known as White Yarrow or Common Yarrow, is a graceful perennial flower that produces an abundance of huge, flat clusters, packed with creamy-white flowers. They are born on tall stems atop an aromatic, green, fern-like foliage. Both flowers and foliage are attractive and long lasting, making White Yarrow a wonderful garden plant and a great choice for prairie or meadow plantings.\nIt is a rhizomatous, spreading, upright to mat-forming. Cultivars extend the range of flower colors to include pink, red, cream, yellow and bicolor pastels.$

Skippers are a family, the Hesperiidae, of the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). Being diurnal, they are generally called butterflies. They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America
