Small skipper - Thymelicus sylvestris
![]() |
Family: Hesperiidae Flight Time: May - July Size: 26-40mm Altitude: 0-1900m |
| A similar species to the Essex skipper (see Thymelicus lineola for detailed comparison), best identified by the orange tips to the antennae. I've taken this close-up with a macro flash to show the detail. It makes for a nice photo except for the black background. | |
