The ‘soldier’ skipper

I don’t think I’ve ever photographed one from quite this perspective. I had to ask Tim what it was ;-).

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Unique view of the skipper. I've never shot one head on like this.

Skippers always look cool with those big eyes and the knobs on their antennae.
