You know sometimes these little guys can be quite cooperative. I really like that second shot. :D

Thanks Ken! :D
I found ID for this skipper. Mallow Skipper, Carcharodus alceae or False Mallow Skipper, Carcharodus tripolinus. However, these two species are externally inseparable, identification is by the male genitalia. :shock:

You mean you didn`t look Nikola, to see which one it was :wink: I like the third picture. Very nice patchwork texture on its wings.
