This little butterfly made a short visit to these small plants for just a quick sip of nectar. That tongue was digging deep but perfectly designed to do the job. Amazing.
That is one of the beautiful things about photography of small things that move. It let’s us admire how wonderful they actually are. Not just a butterfly but a furry blue guy. Hope you are having a great day.
Thanks, the camera does let you see things from angles and in details we can’t with the naked eye. Hope your day is gong well and wishing you a great week ahead.
Like Jim Ruebush, I immediately thought it was a skipper. It’s not a mission blue. A bit of a search suggests it is a common checkered skipper (Pyrgus communis). Hope that helps. RH
