Hi Jim,
Atlast a swallow tailed skipper. You have captured it very nicely with excellent composition and details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Jim,
I've not seen this long-tailed version before. Since we live in the same approximate area, you'd think I would've seen one by now..
Well composed and I like your POV here very much.
Good detail, color, and exposure.
Well done.
