Large
Skipper Ochlodes sylvanus (Esper,
1777)  |
| Status
.....
A
common and widespread butterfly over much of
Nottinghamshire and another species with records
showing a slight westerly-bias, which may be the
result of recorder coverage. Although it is never
found in numbers at any single area, the Large
Skipper occurs widely on various brownfield
sites, along woodland edges and woodland rides,
in grassy meadows and roadside verges.
Occasionally, they often appear briefly in urban
gardens, where they visit nectar-bearing flowers. |
