Our butterfly bushes and echinaceas attract a lot of Monarchs, Viceroys, Swallowtails and Cabbage Whites. Mixed in with them occasionally are tiny brown and orange or yellow butterflies that move very quickly, and because of their size and erratic flight, they are extremely difficult to photograph. Luckily, some took a liking to the Sedum heads that are just starting to mature, giving me the opportunity to grab a few shots of the little buggers.
I am not certain, but I think they are skippers, perhaps silver-spotted, Delaware or fiery skippers. Any help in identification will be greatly appreciated, as will comments and criticisms on the images. I also took this opportunity to try SquareSpace for a mini-gallery, and it seems to work well. http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2017/8/18/skippers K-5 IIs, FA 100 mm F 2.8 macro Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
