Just in: Little orange ones, also cute

in #photography7 years ago

It seems the season for the small copper (Lycaena phlaeas), kleine vuurvlinder in Dutch, has started in earnest. I saw these two days ago in the Aamsveen, a peat bog in The Netherlands near the German border (all is quiet at the border, btw, no worries):

This is the first one I spotted, looking around for food, I think:

About to take flight:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO160, f5.6, 1/500s

Food!


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO160, f5.6, 1/500s


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f8, 1/400s

Here's one with its wings fully open, they don't sit like that often:
