Pepper-and-salt skipper (Amblyscirtes hegon)

Found in Larose Forest, in a different location from the one I found on 30 May. So, there are at least two locations in the forest this year for this rare skipper, and perhaps more.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
1/60s f/5.7 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Wonderful set against a complementing shade of green. V
