Afternoon guest in papaya flowers

In the soft afternoon light, a small brown butterfly-shaped insect suddenly appeared, deep in the papaya flower, drinking nectar.
Its velvety brown wings were shimmering slightly in the gentle touch of the sun.
Its quick and agile movements suggested that it was probably a member of the skipper genus.
Although small in size, its presence added a unique dimension to the beauty of my garden.
