Large Skipper - Ochlodes sylvanus

This is a very active little butterfly with a wingspan of about 26-34 mm. It has chequered markings on the wings that makes it easy to distinguich from other Skippers. It is commonly seen flying in meadows and in woodland glades and clearings where it flits rapidly between flowers. The larvae feed on a number of grasses and hibernate when half grown. There is only one brood in Scandinavia and they fly from late May to late August.

The Large Skipper is found throughout Europe to northern Asia.

This is a male specimen that is resting on Common Bugloss (Anchusa officinalis). It was captured from a distance of ½ metre and has been cropped and sharpened. NeatImage on background.

A bit hard for me to tell if it is large or not..but since you are you, I shall take your word for it.I am having a problem with a Black Willow tree...Without getting into the photo I cannot give it a proper place in Guinness BOR~! Your image though is quite fine...and very much Ulla...you do so well..I hope you always continue on in this way and I am somewhat apprehensive and a bit excited as to what you shall do with winter!

Hi Ulla

A very fine macro of this Large Skipper here!
You are right - this is a very active little butterfly and also a very collaborating one, as well. I remember when i tried to photograph it...it didn't mind at all :)
Your capture here is great, showing your subject with very sharp details and good magnification (especially considering the equipment). The colors are lovely and the DOF is spo-on.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Hello Ulla,

I am so impressed with this!
It is so sharp in every detail!
What a fabulous capture and how well it is presented!
Good choice of F stop to isolate it perfectly from the b/g.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Ulla, you do have some wonderful butterfly photos - in fact they all are. And this fellow looks so good on top of the flower. I like how the low sun is shining on him. He is so clearand sharp.
Well done
