Silver spotted skipper caught in flight while trying to land on purple flower

I love how in this picture this butterfly is perfectly caught in flight fluttering from flower to flower. She is trying to help pollinate as many flowers as she can and seems to love these purple bee balms. Her body seems fluffy like a teddy bear. Her little antennas poised to lead the way. This little guy almost looks like a moth but actually is not. I love the yellow patches on the top of her wings. This picture was taken in the East Coventry township nature preserve outside of Pottstown in Pennsylvania.
