DINGY SKIPPER BUTTERFLY Erynnis tages

 

·         The Dingy Skipper Butterfly Erynnis tages is rather moth-like in appearance – indeed it is far less colourful than many moths and relatively difficult to spot unless it flies. Although widely distributed, this small butterfly is most likely to be found on chalk or limestone in the southern counties of England where it survives in small and often isolated colonies. It is normally univoltine in the UK, with just a single generation on the wing emerging in late April, although recently the likelihood of seeing second generation butterflies later in the summer has increased in consequence of a warming climate.
