Subject: [Leica] IMG: Two Small Butterflies

I spotted a new variety for my area this morning, a Red-Banded 
Hairstreak butterfly.  It was in deep shade and remained there, so I had 
to work hard to get a presentable image.

The Skipper is a very common tiny butterfly-like insect, with enormous 
eyes.  I caught this one up close in good light.
