You guys have lots of rain. We do too, but it is usually a cold rain. I was out and about around 8 AM this morning following an unsually cold evening. Spotted this skipper covered with a likely combination of raindrops and/or dew. It was cold! There was a very large drop covering its eye. I was able to approach it and take several photographs. Not a great shot of the butterfly itself, but rather of the dewdrops. Taken with my Nikon 105mm macro lens and the D-700. William

Interesting shot, William . Always wanted to shot a butt cover with dews but I guess Singapore is not cold enough...

In fact, you can shoot butt with dew in Singapore, Loke. See my shots by clicking the URL below. Need not to be too early, I shot those ard 8am.

Thanks Chee Meng :cheers: . That's encouraging!
What would be the ideal conditions to encounter butts cover with dew besides waking up early ;P , eg thick vegetation, cool morning, rained the night before, etc
