Large Skipper butterfly

Sadly due to his shaded positon he didn't fully unfold his wings so no hope of a classic butterfly pose but I love the detail in this shot:

The classic butterfly shot is not always the best. Some butterflies have more interesting underwing patterns than from the top. Nice detailed shots.
