A Lesser Skipper

I am new at butterfly identification, but I think that this little butterfly is called a Lesser Skipper.
I have wanted to get Coreopsis to grow in my yard even before I moved back to Wisconsin, so now that I have planted a couple of clumps, I visit them frequently to check on them.  This afternoon I was delighted to see that I was not the only one interested in the Coreopsis.

















This same Lesser Skipper was enjoying the straw flowers and petunias too.
Busy nectar sucking little devils.



I also checked out my tomato plants, and I am looking forward to a good summer of homegrown 'maters.


And last for today, my grapevine is thriving.
C'mon grapes.
