A Peck's Skipper Moth sitting on a leaf.
In this black and white macro shot, a locust is perfectly camouflaged against the cracked earth beneath it. The insect’s intricate patterns and textures are vividly captured, allowing a glimpse into its adaptation and survival. Every detail, from the antennae to the segmented body, stands out with stark clarity against the rough terrain. The play of light and shadow across its form emphasizes the locust’s natural artistry, while the desaturated tones highlight the harshness of its environment and the resilience of life within it.

Pyrgus malvae, the grizzled skipper, is a butterfly species from the family Hesperiidae. It is a small skipper (butterfly) with a chequered pattern on its wings that appears to be black and white. This butterfly can be found throughout Europe and is common in central and southern regions of England. The butterfly prefers three major types of habitat: woodland, grassland, and industrial. Eggs are laid on plants that will provide warmth and proper nutrition for development, such as A. euphoria. As larvae, their movement is usually restricted to a single plant, on which they will build tents, unless they move onto a second host plant. Larvae then spin cocoons, usually on the last host plant they have occupied, where they remain until spring. Upon emerging as adult butterflies, grizzled skippers are quite active during the day and tend to favour blue or violet-coloured plants for food. They also possess multiple methods of communication; for example, vibrations are used to communicate with ants, and chemical secretions play a role in mating. Exhibiting territorial behaviour, males apply perching and patrolling strategies to mate with a desired female.\nHabitat: \nAlthough grizzled skippers occupy three major forms of habitats, they tend to settle in environments with spring nectar plants, larval food plants (agrimony, creeping cinquefoil, wild strawberry, tormentil), ranker vegetation, and edges with scrub or woodland. Host plants are from the family Rosaceae with a focus on Agrimonia eupatoria as well as Potentilla. \nFlight Season: \nGrizzled skippers produce one brood per season and are in flight from the middle of March to the middle of July. \n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.
