Indian skipper (Hesperia sassacus)

This brightly coloured skipper is nectaring on a buttercup in Rockcliffe park. Typically found in open damp to wet meadows. The field where I found this was not particularly damp but it seemed to have attracted a number of these skippers.

Beautiful shiny skipper. Love how you always get such superb detail. I think their eyes are really interesting. V.
