Large Skipper butterfly (Ochlodes sylvanus). The hooked antennae identifies this apart from other skippers, and the dark androconial line along the forewings, a pheromone dispersing structure that aids in mate finding, identifies this individual as male. Their larvae use silk to roll leaves into a shelter, and while their native range is wide, Southern European populations can produce three broods per year to the Northern populations one.
