Common and Uncommon - _TNY_5711

This silver-spotted beauty from the Paradiset nature reserve in Huddinge, Sweden, is a common branded skipper (Hesperia comma). The English name indicates that this is an easily found species, but that doesn't apply to Sweden where it is categorized as "Near Threatened".
