One Lonely Butterfly: Trying out my Canon 100-400 F4.5 IS USM lens. It held its focus pretty well at 400mm using a 60D camera. Wind was pretty strong so bush was moving. Comments?

Thank you! Could very well be a moth. It was on a butterfly bush and I never gave it another thought. Appreciate the comment.

Skipper Butterfly, Common. Decent shot for a windy day. Nice Background. Not the most photogenic Butterflies out there. Try posting pic for download.

Thank you. You really know your butterflies. You are right it was not very attractive. Hoping for a more interesting one to shoot. George

Hi, i hope you dont mind me enclosing this photo of a Skipper butterfly, for those who do not know, butterfies have matchstick type antenna, and moths have feathery type antenna.
Regards, Alfie.
