Thistle Fan - _TNY_3582

Here is a fuzzy little fellow which is an Essex skipper (Thymelicus lineola). Since it has emigrated to North America, over there it is known as the European skipper instead.

 

This particular one was enjoying a bright pink thistlöe at Åva-Stensjödal in the Tyresta National Park to the southeast of Stockholm, Sweden in mid-July.
