Description
Nikon 7900 image.
I like all the various Skippers. They are relatively calm, they perch often, and they have stocky little robust bodies. This one almost seemed to glow with a golden color in the midday sun as he found a resting spot among the ripening grass seed pods.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

beautiful macro work once again lee!!!
Stunning macro! What an interesting insect!
Another brilliant macro shot and I love the addition of your finger in the shot, it gives a sense of scale. Lovely colours and textures and the lighting really highlights the wings. Excellent. xx
Brilliant macro once again, fantastic detail, love the way its front leg is resting on your finger, you seem to have an affinity with the little critters around your patch. Thanks for sharing.
I have seen many of these little critters around here! Great macro, and I agree with Jeff, you seem to have an affinity with all the creatures! Fabulous.
He's a cutie! Excellent capture. Bunny
His feathers look like fur! A lovely shade!
beautiful color in this image. Nice
really a tiny butterfly and I like them also.there is another little yeelow butty that almost never lands for more than 5 seconds and flies like they are on drugs.outstanding macro Lee
Great capture...
I concur with BibbyBear - the inclusion of the figer was a nice "touch" to give a sense of scale. Super sharp all the way through on your point of focus- fantastic macro!
nice macro Lee...
