Large Skipper

Sadly, butterflies of any description are notably few and far between so far this summer - and this in a garden designed to attract them and insects in general.

K5 and Pentax-F 100mm macro.

Lovely splash of colour and life. The butterfly population is down in Ontario as well.

Beautiful colours and detail combined with thoughtful cropping make for a wonderful image.

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing a dearth of flutterbys, thus far, where you are (?), RJ.

I don't mean to add to insult to injury, but in my neck of the woods (N. Wilts) 2020 is proving to be a bumper year
