Silver-spotted Skipper On A Water Primrose

No missing these guys, they are one of the largest of all skippers. What is funny is that when I have researched them, several authorities stated they don't like yellow flowers so will be found on mainly blue and purple. Prior to this one, I always found them on blue/purple pickerelweed. This rebel decided to prove the experts wrong.
