hahahah a ja mu bila dala ime small skipper ;) one antennae me izneredile, više nijednog ne razlikujem :D
Oh ovaj je valjda toliko large da ti nije ni stao u objektiv ;D ha ha ha
haha terrible...for me these are the hardest, all look the same and have same colour, but counting spots on small blues can be interesting, sometimes :D
These are almost as much of a pain as the small blues :-)
Hi, Daniele, it looks like you are right, thank you a lot! :D
Hi Jopy! Would you consider Ochlodes sylvanus? I'm looking in particular at the markings on the posterior wing, ventral view; see here: http://lepido.ch/hesperidesx/sylvaine/view/47 http://www.eurobutterflies.com/species_pages/venatus.htm http://www.pieris.ch/seiten/main.php?page=art&art=hesp_sylvanus T. sylvestris lacks these.
