Skipper Night on Wilden Marsh
It’s skipper night on the marsh; they are everywhere!
Essex skippers have a wingspan of 2.5 to 2.9 cm and they lay their eggs in strings on the stems of grasses where they remain over the winter.

My favourite butterflies. Saw lots of Large, Small an Essex some Lulworth and a grizzled (my first ever!) Whilst on hoiday. Will upload pics soon. Great pic
I’d love to see them, Sue.
Great macro. The detail on those furry body parts is excellent.
Thanks Vicki.
