Hi. Could I have this small skipper id confirmed please. Not sure whether it is Essex or Small Skipper.

Thank you

Ron

Yup, male Small Skipper, can just see the orange on the tips of the antennae

. The scent brand is also probably too prominant for an Essex but difficult to see from the angle.

Agreed. Forget the antennae; those scent marks are way too long for lineola.
