Skippers are so named because of their fast and erratic skipping flight. Many of them are powerful fliers and are very difficult to observe on the wing due to their rapid flight. They have stout, furry bodies and generally small triangular wings, looking more like moths than other butterflies. These endearing little butterflies are usually not difficult to find in parks and nature reserves.
