Default Retractable Arms

I didn't know insects could retract their arms (or legs).
Saw this Skipper (I think it's called), having its front arms retracted, giving the impression that it is paiseh (shy).


Both Arms Retracted (Looking Courteous)



Right Arm Retracted

Shots were taken around 11:15 am.

The Skipper is around 3-4 cm. I've posted a cropped shot of the third pic, so that hopefully, it does not look so huge. (or may even larger )

Nice catch Look like it's giving itself a massage

The side view look abit tight. More space to the left would be nice

And thanks for the help. Appreciate it

Cheers
