Rayetta's Butterflies - Behavioral Notes - Brazilian Skipper

There I was out in the pecan orchard in one of the Ruellia drummondiana patches. The time, about 1 PM. By that time, the Ruellia blossoms are going deciduous for the day. Undeterred by this fact of nature, a Brazilian skipper, visiting the blossoms for a late lunch, trapped itself under a deciduous blossom. Both plummeted to earth. Goodness! Up bounced that skipper though. Here it is, visiting yet another blossom. Skippers, especially Brazilian skippers, appear to be the only butterflies interested in this species of Ruellia.
