EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Matt Cole, we witness a magical moment in the English countryside. A dainty Small Skipper butterfly, known scientifically as Thymelicus sylvestris, takes center stage on a delicate seedhead. But what makes this image truly captivating is the glistening dew that adorns its tiny body. As the sun rises over Leicestershire, England, our little skipper awakens from its slumber and finds itself covered in nature's finest jewels. Each droplet of dew delicately clings to its wings and antennae, creating an ethereal aura around our winged protagonist. With grace and poise befitting a true celebrity of the insect world, this adult Small Skipper basks in the morning light. Its vibrant orange-brown wings seem to shimmer with every movement it makes atop the seedhead. This photograph serves as a gentle reminder of nature's beauty and resilience even amidst our busy lives. It invites us to pause for a moment and appreciate these small wonders that often go unnoticed. So next time you find yourself surrounded by life's hustle and bustle, take inspiration from this dew-covered beauty – embrace your own unique sparkle and let it shine!
