flocciferus
![]() |
Family: Hesperiidae. Flight Time: June-August Size: 24-28mm Altitude: 1000-2000m |
| Generally better marked on the underside
than the other Marbled skippers. There is a dark hair tuft on the underside
of the forewing which gives it it's name, but it isn't visible here. The
white stripe and discoidal spot are strong also. Mark Ogden took the photos in Bulgaria. |
