Dingy Skipper

Reference: BU86
Location: Martin Down NNR, Hampshire
Gallery: Butterflies,

One of the differences between moths and butterflies is that moths rest with their forewings covering their hind wings and so the Dingy Skipper certainly resembles a moth. Its colouration is also very moth like, however, the clubbed antennae give away its true Butterfly identity.
