Comments	A friend has told me this is a Woodland Skipper. It was enjoying the Lavendar Blooms in my garden and then would rest on this white flower where I could see (through the camera) a breathing hole open and close. I have been enjoying macro photography for the last couple of years but this butterfly seems new to my garden this year. Identification by Cris Guppy: female.
