Oberthür's Grizzled Skipper in my garden !!!
Posted: Tue May 31, 2011 4:05 pm
Last evening after the sunset I have taken a walk across my garden and noted a skipper Pyrgus sp. with the compound wings. After the wings underside it has seemed to be a Pyrgus armoricanus for me so a have take some photos and recorded it to the video. But I haven't succeeded in looking let alone snapping the upperside last evening.
But this morning I have visited the same place in my garden before the sunrise and the skipper sat on the same flower where I left one yesterday, dewy and numb. So I have waited until the sun shine this place and then the skipper laid uppersides of his wings out against the sun and let me to take ones to the photos.
Here are the photos and below is the video:
