Three skippers flitting about my garden flowers in dappled sunlight. They would jump off the flowers when the flash went off (and finally did so in my chosen focal plane), turn toward the camera as if to strike a pose, and then immediately settle back down again in not much more time than two blinks of an eye.

Nice action image - neat grouping of skippers. Could be Long Dash (Polites mystic), but you'd need to see the upperside to be more certain.
