Description


Not S.O.S., but S.S.S., lol! The male of the Hesperia comma butterfly. Dutch, Kommavlinder, een dikkopjes-soort. This butterfly is one and a half centimeters. I photographed it yesterday afternoon, here across the street right in the rough grassland, among the flowers in the field along the stream. Initially, I had seen two copies elsewhere, but they were far too shy. This one was very much hidden, and trusted his camouflage. Haha, and he trusted me, because I was very careful sneaking close while I had to bend all the grasses which hampered my vision. And "Hooray", I had these little scamp. Thank you very much for your interest, and for probably any comments. Zoom will help.

What a gorgeous image! You have such an eye for composition. :) I have just been looking at your gallery (but not commenting ... I have NO hope of getting caught up) and enjoying it thoroughly. Wonderful stuff, dear friend!

LOL ...oh Mies, I can just see you sneaking through the grass to get this perfectly gorgeous photo of this little scamp. This was a delight to view AND gave me quite a chuckle to read about how you captured it. Thanks for sharing. :)

They are so shy and so fast that I cannot get a shot of them. This is wonderful and the detail in zoom is superb!
