Description

The Fiery Skipper is a bright butterfly with big eyes and a flight posture that looks more like soaring than fluttering.
I found this little guy at 12,500 feet on Monarch Mountain in Sunny Colorado!
The Fiery Skipper is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae and are approximately 1 inch long. The males are orange or yellow with black spots while the females are dark brown with orange or yellow spots. Widespread wherever winters are mild. Individuals range quite widely into cold-winter areas during the warmer part of the year, even starting breeding colonies- but these colonies die out when really cold weather hits. Eggs are laid on or around grasses. The caterpillars roll some of the grass into little shelters along the ground in among the grass, so they're rarely seen. After they pupate, the females wander around looking for suitable habitats, while the males stake out such places waiting for females to mate with.
I stopped to stretch my legs at Monarch Pass on US 50 and spontaneously decided to zoom up the tram. The eight minute ride adds an additional 750 elevation gain from the pass, with absolutely stunning views on a sunny or partly cloudy day. The enclosed observation deck had panoramic photos with labels so you could identify which mountains you're gasping at. You can also walk around outside as long as you would like before returning to the bottom. It was fairly crowded at the base, but so much more quite since relatively few groups were interested in heading up the tram. It is windy most days at the top, so grab your sweatshirt and/or jacket even if it is really warm at the base. Oh, and FREE BAG OF POPCORN when you get back down to the bottom! You'll want to spend time in the gift shop, too...it has some neat stuff and more history about the area.
