Really great catch!

Did you give him a little treat to get him to stand still? ;) Great macro work.

Gabriele Hasslacher		21-Aug-2005 20:26
Yes, very interesting wings! Beautiful image!

Karen Leaf		21-Aug-2005 01:20
Fantastic. I think it's the newest Stealth model just unveiled.

It's a beauty, Herb. I'm with Mary, I have so many books, but have a difficult time with the different Skippers....

Wow! The colors and clarity are superb.

I love this macro, especially because you can see the detail in the wings. Intersting wings if you ask me.

It a big bug

laine82		19-Aug-2005 21:56
Maybe this is where the idea for the swing wing aircraft came from...it's a beauty, Herb.

Larry Ahern		19-Aug-2005 21:56
Remarkable!!

Guest		19-Aug-2005 21:28
The wing design was the first thing that struck me as well. I think you have a F-15 there.

Sharon Rogers		19-Aug-2005 21:17
reminds me of a fighter jet.. mig or f 16?

jypsee		19-Aug-2005 21:14
Well... I have a boatload of books and .....I think it's a woodland skipper, which is a folded wing skipper, generally orange or brown. And a dang nice photo, I might add....

Jackdad		19-Aug-2005 20:55
great shot, love the hairy head. is it some kind of skipper butterfly?

Al Chesworth		19-Aug-2005 20:53
Great close up Herbert, he/she needs a shave.
