While floating in the pool this afternoon, I watched an American Snout skim the 
surface of the water and actually touch it once or twice and then fly away. I'd 
never seen a 'fly do this before. The amazing thing is that about 10 minutes 
later, a Little Wood Satyr did exactly the same thing. Can butterflies drink on 
the fly?
