Good night to all my beloved hive friends 鉂わ笍

In my personal opinion, skipper butterflies remain one of the most spectacular types of butterflies. I really love their shape and their very striking rusty orange color.Finding this particular butterfly is also quite difficult in my area. It may take a little effort to come across one.

When I first found this butterfly, I thought it was a moth, and its appearance really does look very similar. This is genuinely a butterfly that most likely belongs to the family "Hesperiidae," and in my opinion, it is the only type of butterfly that looks so sturdy and robust.

Its color alone is enough to make me fall in love with it, especially when we get to see this particular butterfly up close.This is a small-sized butterfly, but we should not underestimate it because it can fly very fast and looks a little aggressive.The main food source of this butterfly is flower nectar, which helps with the pollination of plants, just as bees usually do.

I managed to find this particular butterfly at the edge of the forest, precisely when my friends and I went on an adventure into the forest a few days ago.This butterfly is also known for being very wild and highly sensitive to even the slightest movement, so it was not easy to approach it.However, on this occasion, I managed to capture the beauty of this butterfly in just one attempt. It was not too difficult, but it was still quite thrilling.

It looks a little funny to see an insect that usually flies now walking slowly along a tree branch.This butterfly did not fly away when I tried to photograph it, but it kept walking, avoiding me and hiding behind the branches.

Lately, I have been finding this particular butterfly quite often, but I am always amazed every time I see it, and I am also quite excited to keep capturing its beauty.
There are so many different types of butterflies in this world, and every butterfly must have its own beauty and unique characteristics. However, there are two butterflies that I personally find incredibly beautiful, namely the skipper butterfly and the blue butterfly from the family "Papilionidae."

As usual, I only feel truly satisfied when I manage to photograph this particular butterfly from the front.
Now, take a look at its handsome face. You can see two black antennae, curving to sharp points at the ends, which look like horns.

However, the most striking feature of this butterfly is its two large, deep-black eyes, which create a beautiful contrast against the golden-orange color surrounding its face.
