Small Skipper
The Small Skipper Thymelicus
sylvestris butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. 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.
