What is a "skipper"?

A skipper is a diverse and widespread group of butterflies found in various parts of the world. Skippers are known for their distinctive wing shape, which is shorter and broader compared to other butterfly species. They are typically small to medium-sized butterflies with stocky bodies and large compound eyes. Skippers have a fast and darting flight pattern, resembling a skipping motion, hence their name. These butterflies often prefer open habitats such as meadows, fields, and woodland edges. They have a strong association with grasses and other low-growing plants, where their caterpillars feed.
