There are many species of butterflies spread across various parts of the world and one of them is the skipper butterfly species that I found when I was hunting for insects in the bush area.

Skipper butterflies differ slightly from regular butterflies, most notably in their physical appearance. Skipper butterflies, like the one I've shared, have a stockier body shape and smaller wings. Apart from that, this skipper butterfly has a better level of agility and speed in maneuvering in the air than butterflies in general.

And scientifically, this butterfly was detected as Borbo cinnara which is a species of skipper butterfly in the Hesperiidae family which can be found in tropical regions of Asia, especially Southeast Asia, such as in Indonesia. This butterfly also has several color variations, such as dark brown and yellowish, as seen in the photos of skipper butterflies I've uploaded below. :)
