Yellow Cricket on Basket Flower

Took this at the same area I got the Sulphur Butterfly.

Nice shot.
That cricket is actually a skipper - a type of butterfly. Thought you would like to know.

It's hard ot tell from this shot, but look at orange skipperling or southern skipperling. This is the closest I can get with Kaufman's Butterflies of North America. Skippers are usually hard anyways, since sometimes all that will tell some species apart will be just one spot.

Keith, thanks for the help in the ID. I have another photo of it. I will post it later. Maybe it would help.
