[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a skipper, photographed from my backyard garden a few years back. (I am gradually organizing my files). Skippers are butterflies of the family Hesperiidae named after their quick, darting erratic flight habits. Skippers differ from the true butterflies in their proportionately larger bodies and smaller wings. They have antennae clubs hooked backward like a crochet hook, while most other butterflies have club-like tips to their antennae. Skippers can be the most difficult butterfly species to identify because their markings are maddeningly similar.

hi Danilo

Nice bokeh even at f/10 to have this colorful BG for a nice sharp capture of the the butterfly in this macro.

Your experience in macro is clearly seen. Good lens 60mm used for this purpose.

Excellent lighting and levels.

A strange insect Danilo, never seen a butterfly like this before, but then I don't have many visiting butterflies where I live.

Thanks for capturing this one - that pink BG sure makes it extra attractive.

Hello Danilo,
thanks for visiting my post again. I was not able to post lately due to too many constraint, especially end of year work that really press me for time.
This shot is beautifully taken with the great thought of colourful BG and foreground staments of the flower. The skipper is excellent focussed on the eyes, giving such a great impact to the excitement of looking at a natural shot.
Wonderful composition with excellent elements concentrated upon to give an impressive presentation.

Regards,
Foozi

through the wonderful shallow DOF here you lead us to focusing on the skipper and the core of the flower it perches on.
very nice pink petals and the green backdrop too.
