Isn't a moth! Its a butterfly!
The specie is a Carcharodus alceae (Esper, 1780), from the Hesperiidae Pyrginae family.
Very common in Portugal.
Know as Mallow Skipper in english.
The photo shows an old individual, with broken wings.

  • Good

Poor old fella! He's looking aged and ragged Chris! He's a little soft too, but you do show his colours off well. Good pose.

Hello CT!
İnteresting capture.It's a little soft but well composed.
TFS...:-)

Merhaba CT!
Kelebekdeki hasar cok buyuk,kanadin yarısı gitmiş,hala ucabiliyor mu;).Guzel ve alışılmamış bir kare.Ellerine saglık!

Nice, lively, well composed picture of the Malvae Skipper, battered from life. Well composed. With your picture showing goods contrasts, too, I thought to try out a little workshop to improve the soft focus.
Thank you for sharing. This one goes straight into my virtual skipper collection :). Thanks to Paulo (phlr) for the ID, too. Skippers are hard to identify.
Best regards,
Peter
