Hello Ivan,

Your photo has a very nice light and you used it well rendering delicate color tones that look so natural. Well chosen DOF showing in great detail the body of the butterfly as well as wings underside pattern.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hej Ivan,

Very nice lighting on this skipper showing detail very well. It is a pity that we(humans) are destroying the areas that such beauty needs.

Hello Ivan. Interesting to see how these skippers are well adapted to different climate. Sharp shot exposing detail markings and I like the hairy hairstyle. Beautiful matted compound eye and isolated well against the silenced background. I like it and well done. Regards. Jusni

Hello Ivan, These skippers are quite recognisable to me now. Quite dainty, hairy creatures - big legs too. They are so hairy they make me think they could be moths. I don't see them in NZ.
Nicely captured here, he stands out really well on the plant

Hello Ivan,

Excellent capture of this skipper. Excellent POV, DOF and sharpness. Superb detail of the markings on the wing. Good light and natural colours. I cannot remember to have ever seen a skipper.
Cheers,

Another skipper from Europe and Sub Asia eh? I have never seen one but when I looked at your notes I noticed the word hesperia and remembered it as a town in California where I visited once..so on this image I went to look up the meaning of the word..in Greek it meant "Evening land" or "Western land". that alone adds a mystic as to how and why this Skipper got its name. A fine presentation as well of course from the master of the insect and aviary world..

Hello Ivan!
For the first view I believe that this is another, much more popular species, but now I see that I was wrong :)
Interesting creature very nice presented. As always the note is very informative.
All the best from Lodz,

Hi Ivan,

There is always something different and special about your butterfly shots. This Silver Skipper is wonderful posing so nicely on the leaf. Excellent pov showing off the wings beautifully and the marvelous textures of the face and body. Beautiful colors and your always razor sharp details and lovely composition.

Hello Ivan,
Nice to see the same moth in Sweden I have seen a few days ago in my country. Interesting view showing under and upper-wings, where the comma is visible. Interesting note for which I would thank you.
Have a nice evening

Ivan this is a beautiful Silver-spotted Skipper that you present. Such nice composition, colors and details!
It is interesting that you have a butterfly called "Silver-spotted Skipper" in Sweden. We have one by same name in U.S.A. but it does not look anything like yours. Ours is Epargyreus clarus.
