·         The common and widespread Large Skipper Butterfly Ochlodes sylvanus have noticeably clubbed and hooked antennae (a useful field characteristic when distinguishing these insects from the superficially similar but smaller ‘golden’ Small Skipper Thymelicus sylvestris and Essex Skipper T. lineata in the UK) and the males possess distinctive black sex-brands on their forewings.
