A Tufted Marbled Skipper Butterfly Carcharodus flocciferus
is shown feeding on the inflorescence of a Lavender Lavandula sp.
plant. Photographed in the Ardèche, South of France
where it is one of four very similar species. The pale discoidal spots on the
dark upper surface of the hindwings are significant markings when segregating Carchorodus butterflies in southern France. With thanks
to Richard Lewington for vetting this identification.
