This skipper subfamily is a group of orange and black medium to small size skipper butterflies. Most of them look similar and difficult to distinguish from one another. They rest with wings held erect. The caterpillar feed on coarse grasses and palms (http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...)
This little skipper was 20 mm long and was sitting an a palm. Any ID?
