Hello THN People!

This is one of our Wings Spread Skippers (under the generic Staphylus). I still can not fully classify this species. I think that your ID may correspond to specific "Staphylus mazans" but I do not see the tiny white spots on the wings which often characterize these species.

Anyway, as all the skippers, it boasts an astonishing speed, in fact, is quite strange that I could take this picture, I think this guy is much more quiet than the average of its kind.

Hola Jesús:

Acabo de comentar tu foto anterior, la de la mosca y, igual que con esta mariposa, he de decir que yo con mis cámaras compactas y reflex no he conseguido una definición como la de tus fotos. El próximo més cumpliré 74 años, seguramente que me debe temblar el pulso, por que no quedo satisfecho con lo que hago si lo comparo con tus fotos y el equipo que usamos.

Tiene mucho mérito lo que tu haces. Posiblemente que en tus comentaruios de mis fotos valores más los puntos de vista o los águlos con que hago las tomas, por que otra cosa no entiendo.

Gracias amigo mio, tu si que eres acreedor de mis más sinceros elogios.

Saludos cordiales
Josep

Hi Jesus,

A very beautiful and different looking Skipper in a lovely open-winged position. An excellent macro with wonderful colors and shadings and fine details and textures. It looks fantastic against the green leaf.

hello Jesús

and all that with a point & shoot, another of your
fine macro photos this time like a Nature Morte,

and a very beautiful luminosity, TFS

Hallo Jesus
This is indeed a very beautiful specie. It has a very "solid" build. I like the texture and patterns off the wings very much, as it almost have a velvetty appearance. The centered composition is a personal favourite. The image is very sharp and well focused. The details are seen with great clarity, and here I especially refer to the huge eyes and what looks like long "eyelashes". Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
Anna

Hello Jesus,
Well done on a great shot. Well composed, good POV and clarity and sharpness are spot on.
Best regards Siggi

Hello Jesus !
Great picture of this Skipper from the other end of the world (for me) ! I love his dark color and the way he helds his wings widely open, in Europe they are never resting like this, so the picture looks unusual and very pleasant to me. Excellent sharpness and details, natural colors, wonderful composition and great POV. Very well done !

Hi Jesus,

Hello Jesus,
What a funny shape this little Skipper has..it looks so cute. Like you I often have problems with Id of small butterflies because of number of spots or other small details. It makes the search very exciting :-) Simple and pleasant composition.
I hope you will find out which species it is.
Kind regards
Anne

Hello Jesus,

Interesante y gracioso lo del promedio Jesús jeje; yo creo que posó para tí ya que sabía que bordarías su retrato, hasta las pestañas""" le sacaste de primera. Buena luz, aunque lo que más me gusta es lo bien que captaste esa difícil textura. Buen fondo también y gran elegancia del conjunto.

Hola Jesús.

Todos mis respetos por esta maravillosa foto de una mariposa. Agradezco en particular la apariencia de terciopelo de las alas.

Felicidades también para los delicados colores y, en general, la nitidez de la mariposa.

Nos vemos pronto para otras fotografías.

Ciao Jesus, fantastioc skipper, I never see before, great capture with splendid details and superb sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Jesús,
A very fine macro of this species of Wing-spread Skipper. The dorsal POV is ideal and shows the details of the open wings with excellent sharpness.
Nice portrait of this species and thanks for sharing it!
All the best,
Ivan

Hi Jesus

Superb image of this dark skipper. Excellent composition, sharpness and details. The detail around the head and eyes is impressive.
Identifying skippers is hard, in any country. I wonder if it might be a Black Devil (Viola violella) http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Amazon%20-%20Viola%20violella.htm
Also have you seen this site on Neotropical butterflies
http://www.neotropicalbutterflies.com
It has a very good collection of skipper shots here

Hola Jesus

Por eso es dificil fotografiarla, es la primera vez que la veo.

Una imagen fantastica, con mucha claridad y nitidez, hasta se ven los pelos de las alas, me gusta mucho como la has tomado, felcidades.
