Where's the bug man??

Caught this tiny butterfly/moth on camera... what is it??

Jackie...

Very pretty WO almost matches the flower! sorry I don't know it.

Graham...

It's a Skipper butterfly, not sure which particular one.

ned...

Er, ......... how can I put this politely, Graham?

No its not. :-))
Try Small Copper butterfly (Lycaena phlaeas).
Nice pics, WO.

pmj...

But...

It *might* have been a Skipper Butterfly, on it's way to a Fancy
Dress Party?

& it might just have been disguised/dressed up as a "Small Copper
Butterfly"? [*!]
:-)

[*1]
Though that's prolly a bit unlikely? - & since ned - "You're da man",
when it comes to things like identifying creepy crawlies & little
flying/fluttering things, then it prolly really *is* a "Small Copper"
Butterfly & we shouldn't doubt your expertise.

Is it very common? Don't think I've seen one around here before

Frogman...

If it was cursing and swearing a lot then it is very common ;-)

Frogman...

Shouldn't you be off spawning something??

Frogman...

Nah, cooking Sunday lunch is much more fun ;-)

I just prepare it, don't cook it:-0

Frogman...

I enjoy preparing it cooking it and above all eating it :-)

A normal sized one would have almost covered that flower head
