Skipper Feeding On Milkweed Blossoms

I grabbed this shot a few nights ago of this little skipper was feeding on milkweed blossoms. He was very tolerant to my presence and I was able to take several photos but this was by far my favorite because of a hidden little friend. Look closely on the bottom of the flowers and you will see a little fly hanging out. I completely missed this while taking the photos because I was so focused on the skipper. I hope you enjoy this photo and always happy shooting!
