The mystery has been solved...the critter I posted about above is a Long-Tailed Skipper. Instead of a fan-tail, it has two long swallow-like hindwings. Quite large compared to other skippers I've seen before.

Odd that I've never seen them before. Then again, maybe not, due to said oldness and slowness.

Vokar , are you covering your asters? I believe you're in the path of this next winter storm?
Wheelgarden , I have some "oldness and slowness" too. I wonder if it's contagious?

SpringRain🕊️, No. We're not covering them. When's the storm supposed to come? The 10-day forecast for my area has no storms and no precipitation on it (just sun, partly cloudy, and cloudy).

SpringRain🕊️, I'm on the Oregon border (if you cut Oregon in half horizontally and let the center touch Idaho, that's about where I'd be). It looks like we should notice something, though, but there's nothing on the forecast and the weather is placid and windless right now. No snow or rain (0% chance), but it's supposed to freeze hard tonight. Clear skies. Strangely, Boise's forecast is storm-free, too.
