Identification Shot

During my hunt for Essex skippers on the Chester Zoo estate I spent a long time getting identification shots of every skipper I could find. The ideal shot shows the front - i.e.underside - of the antennae like this one. This required a lot of patience on behalf of the skippers and unaccustomed contortionism from me.

 

In this case - like every other in this session - the club fronts were orange indicating a small skipper.
