Two photos from Rob taken on 08/06/2020 which he sent in with the following comments:
After slow results in finding good numbers of Lulworth Skippers to the east of Lulworth yesterday, counts today were in the tens of individuals to the east of White Nothe on the SE facing sections of coast path below Chaldon Herring in variable sunlight. Also found were both Large and a few Small Skippers as well as a Dingy Skipper. Numerous Burnet moths were also seen.
Editors Note: The Lulworth Skipper in the top photo has a red mite (trombidium breei) on it just behind the right eye – some species are more prone to these than others but they do not seem to harm the butterflies.
