I saw my first dingy skipper this year and I could not belive how small it looked, even when I knew what size it was. It was the same when I saw D.O.B too, I thought they were bigger, and as for brown argus, if you did not know what you were looking for, you'd probably miss them.
Any people out there know how to get a good shot of say a butterfly and moth, and make it look its size, e.g. dingy skipper on a small daisy flower would show its size or like this one I took, a clouded beauty on my finger shows its size too:

any other of you guys got some ideas? With larger species such as red admirals, swallowtails etc.... its fine, you don't have to get them looking big, you'd notice them if you saw them, but small skippers, brown argus and things similar, you would not really notice unless you knew what you were looking for.
