Thymelicus sylvestris - Small Skipper. 27 - 27mm. In the western parts of its range, its distribution occurs from northern Africa over the whole of Europe and Asia. In the ease, however, it reaches only to Iran. It is one of the most abundant skippers, flying in a single generation from June till August. It can be found in all grassy, relatively dry biotopes abounding in flowers, and also in forest clearings and rides etc. In the mountains it may ascend to 2000m. The caterpillar lives on a variety of grasses, and hibernates.

Amazing capture with sharp details and contrasting colours. Wonderful colour mix in this composition. I love this POV too...
Thanks for sharing...

What a hairy creature! This makes macro photography so formidable to see such a butterfly.

Very sharp and good POV.

Beautiful colours and sharpness. The background sets the butterfly and flower off superbly. I tilted my head to the left and it's even more impressive in a vertical position.

This is Ochlodes sylvanus (Rostfarbiger Dickkopffalter / Ockergelber Dickkopffalter or Large Skipper) because of the yellow-brown spots on the wings!

Lieber Heinz,
ich danke Dir für die Komplimente zum Ochsenauge. Aber wenn ich bei Dir die Bilder durchsehe, verstehe ich Deinen Frust nicht: Dein Dickkopffalter zum Beispiel ist von der einsamen Spitzenklasse.
Ich wünsche Dir schöne Festtage, Dietrich
