Small Skipper, originally uploaded by andyskelton.
In the ten minutes standing out by the lavender at home, I managed to record 6 variety of butterflies, but sadly no reappearance of the Hummingbird Hawkmoth… as of yet.
Of all the varieties, the Small Skipper continues to be the most relaxed with a large lens pointing at it.
All photos on the blog are straight from the camera and only passed through a small program that watermarks the photo – however the Small Skipper looks like it’s been over sharpened, either that or it’s been overdoing the hair gel.
Andrew Skelton: 
Great shot! Great focus on the head. The butterfly always makes a great subject for any shot.
