On this side of the Atlantic, the Essex skipper butterfly is usually known as the European skipper. This time of year, on a warm afternoon like today's, you can see dozens of them hanging around sunny spots with flowering wild plants. I saw this one with a dozen of its friends or relatives hanging out on vetch, centauria and goldenrod, along with almost as many bumblebees.
