[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ochlodes venata

Size:
Wingspan approximately 35mms.

Distribution:
Found in England, Wales and southern Scotland.

Months seen:
May to September

Habitat:
Rough grassland and woodlands.

Food:
Nectar.

Special features: At rest, the large skipper assumes a moth-like stance, with its forewings and hind wings held apart at different angles.

The males, like the one above, have a black line running diagonally through their forewing. In the females this is absent. The rest of the wings have a mottled appearance. The males are at their most active in mid-morning when they patrol their territories in search of a female.

Mamma mia che dettagli,un lavoro da professionista,gli occhi sono incredibili,complimenti,Luciano

Hello Ivan,
a great and detailed picture of the skipper from a well-selected and nice point of view.
Colours appear pleasant and natural.
The background is a bit noisy. I tried a workshop and hope
that you will like the result.
Best wishes, Peter

Nice macro of this colorful skipper! Even got the hairy details on the leaf! Bg a little noisy - but not distracting...complementary colors are nice. Well done! Penny

Hello Ivan,
That is a very good macro lens and the VR works well down to 1/40th. So getting f/14 allows a great depth of field for such a close shot. Very well done. Excellent clarity and details. Thanks

Hi Ivan
Very nice picture of this skipper. Good composition and sharpness. I also like the colours of the picture. They are saturated but also soft.
Thanks for sharing
