Thymelicus Sylvestris, Small Skipper

By Dodema

This golden skipper is often found basking on vegetation, or making short buzzing flights among tall grass stems. The male is distinguished from the female by the sex brand on its forewings, which is a slightly curved line of specialised scent scales. This species lives in discrete colonies of both small and large populations. /ukbutterflies.co.uk/
