    Very good photos of one, Beryl!

    He's a very hairy Butterfly, with antenae like a moth's. I guess Skippers are almost the 'missing link' between the two!

    Thanks Catherine
    I used to think the Skipper was a moth .
    The Skippers are the last butterflies in my book before the Moth section so you could be right

    Yes. It's not much bigger than one thumb nail so I have no idea how small the 'Small Skipper' is
