I think they are the same species. But this one is a little bit older or had a rougher life until now. I now there are hairs, because the other one have ;-)... and I have never seen s skipper with red straps... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8527520

This one seems different from the oher one, at least to me. It doesn't have hair on its legs... and the head's color is different..

No, not again this one! Sergio, I am not yet ready for an ID!! ;-)... I am completely out of the row due to these red feet... One day, I'll find out!
