The Essex Skipper is very similar to the Small Skipper, and you have to look at the antennae to tell the difference. I rather liked this shot which shows the distinguishing feature of the Essex Skipper quite nicely!

No idea of the species, but rather small buttery.

Here's a lively clouded sulphur (or at least I think it is). Just started getting interested in these little buggers, so any tips for capturing them (with camera) would be greatly appreciated. They seem to prefer a time of day that is not so conducive to good photos...

Nice picture, pauljg, but I think it's a Dark Green Fritillary, not Queen of Spain.

Thanks for the comment dilettante! I got the name from the translation of the english version of Wikipedia from the Dutch. I use this method often when I don't know the english name of a flower, fungus or butterfly by first looking it up in the Dutch Wikipedia and then switch to the english version. Bur I must confess that sometimes (like now probably) this does not work correctly
