[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Hesperia comma (Silver-spotted Skipper) is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is known as the Common Branded Skipper or Holarctic Grass Skipper in North America, where the butterfly Epargyreus clarus, a spread-winged skipper, also has the common name of "Silver-spotted Skipper".

Appearance, behaviour and distribution

Often confused with the Large Skipper Ochlodes venata, this species is easily distinguished by the numerous white spots on the underside hindwings, and the tips of the upper forewings tend to be darker than those of the Large Skipper. Also their flight periods rarely overlap; in Britain the the Large Skipper has all but finished when the Silver-spotted takes to the wing in August. The Silver-spotted Skipper prefers warm calcareous sites and has a wide distribution as far south as North Africa, northwards throughout Europe to the Arctic and eastwards across Asia to China and Japan. It also has subspecies in North America.

Hola Mariana,

2-in-1 macro shot...Wow!
I never had a luck to shot even one of the skipper at a time, and you got two of them together...lucky person!
The colors of the skippers are superb and the sharpness couldn't be better. The POV and dOF are just ideal. the blurred BG is nice indeed.
Great composition!

Have a nice weekend.

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hello Mariana,
all the important parts of the picture are in perfect focus - the two butterflies and th e flower.
The background is a bit 'bumpy' and slightly distracts from the main objects.
But, in general, the picture is well composed.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Mariana,
Very good pair of butterflies, excellent angle and focus very precisely in order to photograph the two butterflies on a well-defined. Good work, very pleasant. The skippers are always difficult to photograph, but are definitely charming species.

TFS!
