Common checkered Skipper

I found this checkered skipper yesterday evening perched on some dahlias.I forgot to mention a few other funny things that happened during the shot.  The sun was going down so it was very dark, windy and cold.  The dogs kept jumping around and almost knocked the skipper off the flower.  Tom the cat also decided to help and nearly knocked the flowers out of position.  The skipper decided to stay put and I was able to get quite a few shots with different backgrounds.  I especially like the BG in this shot which is very different  than what you normally get with most of my macro shots.
