ID Help Required

[Catteraxe]

I've just returned from Roses in Catalunya which is about 150km north of Barcelona where I snapped the following butterflies. Any assistance in providing identification would be appreciated. Some of the pics are a bit naff for which I apologise. The first three are skippers (not the same butterfly) but, unfortunately, I've no underside shots and the best specimen is the worst pic.

The next pics are, I think, Speckled Woods and a Small White.

The next image looks like it may be a Fritillary? Again no underside.

Finally some Blues. The first three I've no idea, the rest I'm guessing are Long-Tailed Blues (the last two taken in Barcelona).

Any assistance for positive IDs greatly appreciated.

Kevin.

Hi Kevin. Your first three are mallow skippers, Carcharodus alceae. The next, as you say, are speckled wood and small white. The one like a fritillary is a wall, Lasiommata megera. The first two of your blues are Lang's short-tailed blue, Leptotes pirithous. The third is a common blue. The last three are all Lang's short-tailed too, but with their tails intact!
