Astorga-Santiago - the rest

Post by JKT »

Here are the skippers. I'm unsure of the Pyrgus - the others should be right (the file names again...).

And finally the long shot: the cats and a micro moth. No idea here, except that the green cat might be S. pavonia.

Just a note to the previous: The first cat is Proserpinus proserpina and the the micro is Ecpyrrhorrhoe rubiginalis.

Guy, could you take a look at the Pyrgus...

Hi JKT. Browsing on my iPad (from Spain) I don't see the filenames. But the Pyrgus looks most like carthami to me. If that is right, it will have looked very large, especially in flight. The first skipper is Spialia sertorius, as I'm sure your filename says!

I had guessed on P. armoricanus. It was larger than P. malvae - roughly between P. alveus and P. andromedae.

Yep, the Spialia was rather obvious considering there is only one species in Spain. Other names were T. sylvestris, M. cinxia, M. phoebus and P. icarus. It didn't occur to me the names wouldn't be visible for mobile browsing.
