Family: Hesperiidae
Subfamily: Pyrginae
Identification: Wings are brown-black; hindwing is lobed. Forewing has transparent gold spots; underside of hindwing has a metallic silver band.
Wing Span: 1 3/4 - 2 5/8 inches (4.5 - 6.7 cm).
Life History: Adults perch upside down under leaves at night and on hot or cloudy days. To seek females males perch on branches and tall weeds, and occasionally patrol. Females lay single eggs near the host trees, and the caterpillars must find their proper host. Young caterpillars live in a folded leaf shelter; older ones live in a nest of silked-together leaves. Chrysalids hibernate.
Flight: Two broods from May-September in most of the East, a single brood to the north and west, three-four broods from February-December in the Deep South.
Caterpillar Hosts: Many woody legumes including black locust (Robinia pseudacacia), honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) and false indigo (Amorpha species). Also selected herbaceous legumes such s Glycyrrhiza species.
Adult Food: The Silver-spotted Skipper almost never visits yellow flowers but favors blue, red, pink, purple, and sometimes white and cream-colored ones. These include everlasting pea, common milkweed, red clover, buttonbush, blazing star, and thistles.
Habitat: Disturbed and open woods, foothill streamcourses, prairie waterways.
Range: Extreme southern Canada and most of the continental United States except the Great Basin and west Texas; northern Mexico.
Conservation: Not usually required.Silver-spotted Skipper

as defined in the bible in man is not a mere passive quality, but the deliberate preference of right to wrong, the firm and persistent resistance of all moral evil, and the choosing and following of all moral good.
Dictionary definition of goodness:
The quality of being good in any of its various senses; excellence; virtue; kindness; benevolence; as, the goodness of timber, of a soil, of food; goodness of character, of disposition, of conduct, etc.
What does goodness mean to me?
People can have good traits or do good things, but goodness is not in our character. Our goodness comes from God. God's goodness is shown to us right from the beginning when he created everything. For example, "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good." (Genesis 1:31) Everyone know the lyrics of the song that says "“God is so good; He’s so good to me.†We can all feel free to sing this song because God is good to us in such a personal way. He knows what we need and He shows his goodness to us. We look up to God as He teaches us what true goodness is. Without His guidance we wouldn't be good, we would be evil. God wants us to be good. That's why He offered us salvation through his son Jesus Christ.
The Goodness of a Christian:
We should seek to be FULL of it.
We have to make sure we DO it – not just HAVE IT.
Goodness begins right here, in our little church.
Goodness extends to your enemies.
Anything other than doing good, is a sin. If you know what you are supposed to do, and yet won't do it, your NOT doing it has become a BIG sin!
Goodness in your life actually enables you to live long, and enjoy living long.
I believe that goodness and mercy will be with me the rest of my life because I believe in the Lord and His beliefs. He made me good and He keeps me away from evil. I have never really been a bad person. I have never done bad things. I've never been arrested. I've never been in jail. Basically I've been a good girl. But as you know, everyone is born into sin because of what Eve did so God saved me and gave me his goodness which I was very happy to accept.
I hope you were encouraged by my comments. I pray that your life is also filled with goodness. God Bless You!
