Looks good for Lulworth to me... ? in UK or overseas

Hi Simon.

Welcome to UKB.

It's never easy when they are past their best but this looks like a female Small Skipper (Thymelicus sylvestris) to me. Its definitely not Lulworth.

Kind regards. Mark

Thank you for that, never seen one with that amount of dark on wings, did think Essex but wrong antennae.

all the best

Simon
