Arctic Skipper

Ordinarily I wouldn't post so many photos of one species but this Arctic skipper is "high priority conservation" in Europe. I don't know exactly what that means, but I assume it means this tiny butterfly is endangered. Identified at bugguide.net.

When clicked, these photos will open, full size, in a new window.
