The butterflies from Hesperiidae family are commonly known as skippers. They are generally small, with the wingspan typically ranging from 20-70mm. Skippers are mostly brown, tan and gray, with some species displaying bright spots. The forewings of Hesperiidae butterflies usually triangular, while the hindwings are circular. Skippers have hook-like antenna that with swollen end. They are known for their quick and agile flight, often characterized by a “jumpy” motion which differs from the more gliding flight of other butterflies.
