ANTICIPATION

The temperature has been up and down the last little while, it was -20C earlier in the week and +4C today but the skipper above is pure summer! They are pretty common in our area and a favourite of mine to photograph. I started doing more insect photography last year and look forward to a lot more when the warmer weather returns.

    I have an affinity for insect faces, so thanks for that! Do you know what species the skipper might be, Belinda?

    I never used to think of insects as possibly being pretty, but your photos are changing my mind.
