Very adorable! I finally checked my messages on my moths. Great new mission about PA. Thanks!

Thank you Maria!

Raeven; thanks! I agree on some form of grass skipper, though it might be difficult to get any farther.

Yes, Lovely.
The little hooks on the antenna do indicate it's a skipper. Looks like the grass skippers I was looking up yesterday. I wasn't really able to narrow mine down definitively beyond the Subfamily, though.
