SK5243 : Large Skipper butterfly (Ochlodes venata)
near to Bulwell, Nottingham, Great Britain

Large Skipper butterfly (Ochlodes venata)
The Large Skipper is one of the commonest species throughout all lowland areas of England and Wales. It is the only common skipper with orange and brown patterned wings. It lives in distinct colonies in a wide range of rough places where wild grasses, on which the caterpillars feed, grow unchecked. The adults fly only in sunshine and will frequently land on shrubs, especially the male, which will often return to the same leaf between flights.
