Thanks, I'll add a spotting with the marigolds too, I took several pictures of those! :)
You're welcome! Nice spot!
The last photo on this site looks almost exactly like my spotting:

Looks more like a male fiery skipper, thanks for the suggestion! :)
Thank you both! :)
Nice shots, Coral.
Possibly a woodland skipper but also may be a female fiery skipper http://socalbutterflies.com/hesperiidae_...
The flower is a marigold (tagetes sp.)
