Northern Chequered Skipper
Carterocephalus silvicolus
27th May 2024. Duvenstedter Brook. Germany.
This may well be my most expensive ever photograph! I dedicated a whole week to finding the Northern Chequered Skipper in the Hamburg area of Germany. The weather was terrible almost throughout, with just a couple of dry and bright spells. I was incredibly fortunate (!) to see just one example of my target species, this male Northern Chequered Skipper. I reckon he cost me over £800 all in, once you account for flights, hotel, hire car etc. Worth every penny!
