Worth It - _TNY_4630
The minute before I took this shot of an arran brown (Erebia ligea), I spotted another one on a leaf in the Mjällådalen nature reserve. That one immediately took off after I merelt considered getting closer, so when my son pointed this one out, my initial thought was that it wasn't worth the effort - but then I figured I should be grateful that he is enjoying being out like this with me and thanked him for the spot and crept closer.
I took "safety shots" after each short step, but it remained on the leaf until I got so close that it more than filled the frame!
Mental note: you never ever know what animals do so it is always worth a shot.
