[Leica] Silver Spotted Skipper

Jim,

I'm in awe of your ability to get super sharp pictures of tiny creatures.
What do you do? Set up the camera in front of a Red Clover, focus carefully,
and snap the shutter when an insect lands on it. Or stalk the insect with a
camera and snap a photo when it lands on anything. I have trouble getting
grandchildren in focus. Your ability to do it with insects is mind boggling.

This Silver Spotted Skipper was specially trained by me, to strike a pose
and allow me to get close enough to provide Rabs with a large image.  S/he
obliged.  The Red Clover still attracts more insects than my Butterfly Bush.


The shiny black arch is the butterfly's tongue, exploring the clover.
