Summary

[edit]
Description Small Skipper (Thymelicus sylvestris) Orange butterfly with a black scent scales on the edge of the male wings. The antennae tips are orange which distinguishes it from the Essex Skipper whose antennae tips are black. Unusually the butterfly basks with wings set an angle, partly raised. The stubby body has been likened to moths but the antennae style and the distinctive butterfly flight puts the skippers (Hesperiidae) with the butterflies. Prefers a habitat of long grassland over woodland.
