There are still a few clusters on the butterfly bush, and the Skippers seem 
to enjoy them.  While focusing on one small skipper, a large brown butterfly 
or moth flew into the frame.  I grabbed a few shots, but have not been able 
to identify this visitor.  Because of the furry abdomen and lack of bulbs on 
the antennae, I think it must be some form of moth.
