Dear all,

This photo of Notocrypta curvifascia, commonly known as the Restricted Demon, was taken yesterday during a walk to the Peak of Hong Kong.

Hope you'd like this little skipper : )

Cheers,

Hello Man Yee,
A nice capture of this skipper taken from a dorsal POV with good sharpness where focused on the body, the wings being clear but less sharp. It shows well against the OOF natural Bg.
Thanks and best wishes,
Ivan
