The family Hesperiidae, commonly known as skippers, consists of small to medium-sized butterflies. They are characterized by their rapid, skipping flight patterns and stout bodies. Skippers have hooked antennae and often exhibit a unique resting posture, with their wings held at an angle above their bodies. Hesperiidae butterflies are found worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. They typically inhabit grasslands, meadows, and open woodlands, where they feed on nectar from flowers. Their larvae primarily feed on grasses, making them important components of their ecosystems.
