I am not positive on the small Butterfly, think they are called Skipper.
While small they are mighty, seem to be everywhere.
Skipper (I Think)

What a cool-looking butterfly, Ted. The first thing I noticed was the length of the tail–none of the skippers in my area have a long tail. I think yours is the aptly named Long-tailed Skipper (Urbanus proteus).

Thanks for the details. There have been plenty around but I have only tried to photo a few. Of course now I will be checking out the length of the little critters tails 😀😀 for comparison.

Thanks. They seem to be the most common visitor to any blooms right now. The Lowcountry is a ‘warm’ spot (hence tropical swamps) so flowers still bloom and critters still crit here 😀😀😀 now.
