Small Skipper?





Martin.

I'd say so. There's no pattern on the underside - so it's not a Large Skipper, and the antennae don't have black tips.

I was 99%...but it's a first so thought I'd get confirnation. Thanks Pete.

I'd guess it's a male judging by the orange antennae. It's female small skippers that have everyone guessing as their antennae are dark brown.

There were about 8 of them in as many square yards, all shimmering thier wings and flicking thier abdomens. I'm guessing that they were either spreading pheramones or maybe drying thier wings. Anyone?
