Can anyone tell me if this is male or female? I'd love to have a matched set! Found warming up on a brick in the early morning sunlight with another close by.

You always make me smile!
I was checking Fiery Skipper images today since I found an especially heavily marked one and came across your picture of the Fiery Skipper and the "not Fiery Skipper." Had to laugh!

Nice to hear it.
I have fun here, too.

Whatever they are,
I guess they're the same! Too bad, I was hoping for a pair.

I'm guessing both of yours are female, based on guessing the male is the smaller one in this post:

(Note the difference in the ends of the abdomens.)
