16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Fire on the Prairie
Female Fiery Skipper (a.k.a. "That little orange moth"; Hylephila phyleus; Hodges 4013) on a Prairie Iris (a.k.a. Dixie Iris; Iris savannarum previous;y known as Iris hexagona) - Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area, 3365 Taylor Creek Rd, Christmas, Florida This fem looked very handsome on her purpley perch. Though I have to say she didn't seem to be acting mischivious or inappropriate, though she DID attract my attention.
