Wet All Over, Pt. 2 - _TNY_0700

A shot taken early in the morning at the Hemmesta sjöäng wetland with this nice Essex skipper (Thymelicus lineola) all covered in dew while sleeping on top of a thistle.

 

This species is also present in North America where it was accidentally introduced and is known as the European skipper there.
