Skipper opinons requested

Post by Part timer »

I took the attached photo last week in south-east Slovakia. Given that the only skippers in the vicinity were Grizzled, I suspect that's what it may be, though I didn't see the upperside.

However the ground colour is lighter and greener than I'd normally expect of a Grizzled, so is something more exotic, such as Olive, a possibility?

Thanks, Rupert

I think it probably is a grizzled skipper. Nothing I can see really suggests anything else - and it is definitely not olive skipper. Sorry!

Thanks, Guy. No need for the "sorry"- the truth will make us free :-)
