A large family of butterflies known as skippers, characterized by quick, erratic flight and stout bodies.
Modern Latin family name, possibly derived from Hesperus (evening star) or Hesperides, though the etymological connection is disputed among entomologists.
Skipper butterflies got their fancy scientific name from ancient mythology, but honestly, scientists have lost track of why! They're called 'skippers' because they hop and dart around like they're skipping across the garden.
