ok it is the same one as my older post:

it is small, the size of a skipper

alternately red/orange and yellow overall

nectaring on lantana

the wings are long and narrow, held 45 degrees, almost never over back

the abdomen is a little stalked, red/orange with 5 or 6 yellow rings close together posteriorly and one ring near stalk, abdomen sometimes cocked?

femur is dark, tibia is pale(yellow)

antennae looked normal length

sry havo no camera that can focus that close, can someone recommend an inexpensive point-and-shoot digital that can take good macro pics?

also saw a week ago a small metallic blue one too,with metallic green dorsally and laterally, any idea what that was? same size
