Hi everyone, today I want to show you the results of my observations in the wild, this time I observed a "Cephrenes acalle" that I found in the Semak forest when I was exploring a few days ago, this little creature caught my attention because of its soft color and their unique behavior when around them, this beautiful species has a golden color so it looks striking among the green leaves, but the difficulty I faced was when I wanted to get their picture, it was not easy because this little animal is very wild so it is difficult to approach for taking pictures, but I was lucky to get two pictures of them even though they were not completely perfect.

Cephrenes acalle is a species of butterfly belonging to the hesperiidae family, they are also often referred to as "skipper" or crow butterflies, this species is often found in various regions of Southeast Asia, the small forest where we live has a cool and humid aura so that this butterfly is easy to find, as you can see in the picture this butterfly has distinctive characteristics including relatively small wings when compared to its body and attractive color patterns, and of course this makes them easy to recognize by nature lovers like me.

Another unique thing that I noticed is Cephrenes acalle their flight pattern is relatively fast and agile, this is in accordance with the name of the hesperiidae family which is known for its fast movements resembling sparrows, this butterfly has a dominant golden brown color and is added with a distinctive black pattern on its wings, this color is perfect for them to make them one of the amazing prima donnas in the wild, their presence is often something that attracts attention for anyone who walks in the forest because they seem to be friends in a quiet nature.
