About this artwork

This butterfly is a Silver-spotted Skipper/Epargyreus clarus. About them: The wingspan of an adult is 43–67 mm. The adult Silver-spotted skipper occurs in fields, gardens and at forest edges. It ranges from southern Canada throughout most of the United States to northern Mexico, it is absent in the Great Basin and western Texas. Adults fly throughout the warm part of the year. They have one brood per year in the North and West, two in the East, and three or four in the Deep South. Females lay single eggs on the caterpillars' host plants.Young caterpillars fold leaves to make shelters, and older ones stick leaves together with silk. They overwinter as chrysalids. The caterpillar's head is large and brown with two orange dots mimicking eyes. It has a long, narrow, green body.

  • I watched this photo also by deviant art and I have to say, that there is no image noise. Seems it's just the upload and small size here.

  • You have three values for your camera: Shutter speed, aperture and ISO. The ISO is the sensitivity of the sensor (earlier film). A high ISO brings some image noise. :-)

  • Oha, I never thought. o.O Tests say, it's a good camera with low image noise. Have you used a high ISO for this photo?

  • Beautiful macro photo. The only thing to complain about is the high image noise in the green background. What camera do you use?

  • Nice
