Insect Macrophotography | Beautiful Skippers

Beautiful skippers are standing on a leaf

Skippers are a family of the Lepidoptera named the Hesperiidae. Being diurnal, they are generally called butterflies. They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea.

I found this skipper in the bushes of Paya Leupah Village, Simpang Keuramat, North Aceh, Indonesia during the day. I smell his presence when entering the area. The skipper it flew, and I chased them.

He moved from one position to another, so I had to chase him several times. When I saw that he was comfortable standing on the leaves, I approached him very slowly. Maybe you already know, butterfly species are sometimes very sensitive to foreign movements that come to them.

Therefore, care is needed to be able to shoot their photos perfectly. And below I've uploaded a photo of the skippers with a few different poses.
