Essex Skipper - Thymelicus lineola
Unlike its name, the Essex Skipper can now be found over much of the southern half of England, much of Europe, southern Scandinavia, Asia and North Africa. There is a single generation each year with adults on the wing throughout July and August. A small butterfly with a darting flight, it is a UK resident and is widespread in England and Wales. Bright orange-brown wings held with fore wings angled above hind wings. |
