Another Skipper to ID please

Post by Paulcrook »

Not sure about this one. The tip of the antennae look black so wondered if it is an Essex Skipper but not sure. Hope the photo is clear - am having to scan prints at the moment as I can't upload shots from the camera at present.

Hi Paul,
Yes, Essex Skipper. Not that many around this year - reckon they've 'crashed', at least in my neck of the woods.
