The last posting from our trip to Bulgaria displaying some of the Skippers, Heaths and Hairstreak species that we encountered, although some of the Skippers are extremely difficult to tell apart from one species to the next, although I think we've sorted them. Also the bizarre Nettle Tree Butterfly can be found below.
Two of the seven species of Dragonflies photographed can also be found below.
Daily accounts of the trip can be found on my Dad's blog - bobsbutterflies.blogspot.com

| Tufted Marbled Skipper |
 |
presumed Orbed Red Underwing Skipper -
the single white spots on the underwing and
the distinctive flight action noted point towards
this species.
|
 |
presumed Olive Skipper -
these Skippers are all so similar,however
the distinct but faded markings on the
upper and lower hindwing lean towards
this species. |
