the wings are usually well-rounded with more or less sharply tipped fore wings. some have prominent hindwing tails, and others have more angled wings; the skippers' basic wing shapes vary not much by comparison to the papilionoidea, though. most have a fairly drab coloration of browns and greys; some are more boldly black-and-white. yellow, red, and blue hues are less often found, but some largely brown species are quite richly colored, too. green colors and metallic iridescence are generally absent. sexual dichromatism is present in some; males may have a blackish streak or patch of scent scales on their fore wings.
