My second attempt(s) at trying to find and Essex Skipper in my collection. Could someone let me know if these are Small or Essex Skippers please (hope the last photo comes out okay - it's a few years old).
I don't think it is. The underside of the antenna should be black for Essex, and those are Orange.
On the other hand, the other 3 shots show a diffuse black marginal border. This is a sign for Essex, Small having a well defined border.
