Subfamily: Hesperiinae
Genus: Thymelicus
Species: T. sylvestris
Binomial name
Thymelicus sylvestris
(Poda, 1761)

The Small Skipper Thymelicus sylvestris butterfly of the Hesperiidae family.

[edit] Appearance, behaviour and distribution


It has a rusty orange colour to the wings, upper body and the tips of the antennae. The body is silvery white below and it has a wingspan of 25 -30 mm. This butterfly is very similar in appearance to the Essex Skipper Thymelicus lineola. In the Small Skipper, the undersides of the tips of the antennae are yellow orange, whereas they are black in the Essex Skipper. The black area on the lower edge of the upper wings also differs. Like the other orange 'grass skippers' the male has a distinctive black stripe made up of scent scales. This butterfly's range includes southern Britain, much of Europe, north Africa and the Middle East, typically occurring where grass has grown tall.

Hello Szabo,
Well done. I do like the one to the left as that Skipper is very sharp, etc.
I'm a bit puzzled about the one to the right in terms of cropping. Of course this is quite personal and in full respect of your work.
