It's that same old chestnut. Which Skipper have I got here. This selection of photos are all from Tout Quarry, Portland July 11th 2022. Thanks folks.

Looks like you have a selection of all 3 suspects there, in order:
Male Lulworth
Female Small
Male Lulworth
Male Essex
Male Lulworth.

Thanks Bugboy. I'm surprised you said the fourth one is an Essex. I doesn't appear to have black tipped antenae. I'm glad I managed a Lulworth.

You're right, it's a Small. I was looking on my phone (I'll never learn to hold off until I fire up the laptop for a better look!
)

D'oh! Thanks for the update. The hunt continues for the Essex. I need to look within Gloucestershire now. The others are correct though?
