Guava Skipper
Phocides polybius National Butterfly Center Mission, TX Their larval food is Guava, which is not native to the U.S, but some are grown, (mainly as ornamentals,) in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, so occasionally we get a skipper. In the Swift Field Guide, Dr. Galssberg says something along the lines of, "a skipper even skipper-phobes can't skip". I wanted to work this one some more, but my attention brought in the hordes of cell-phone shooters. I also considered cleaning up the wings, but didn't. 5DIV 100-400 4.5-5.6 II @400, 36mm extension f/13, 1/80 Eval +.33 iso 800 Natural light, hand held Comments and suggestions always welcome. |
