I know I’ve already posted a lot of Large skipper (Lycaena dispar) butterfly photos over the past couple of months but I just can’t help myself.

They are so adorable, especially the males when they’re posing.

Of course, I do know they’re not actually posing – it’s more likely that they’re holding a territory and are trying to look intimidating to scare me off.

Or perhaps they’re just as curious about me as I am about them?

Well, here’s lookin’ at you back, Skippy!
