Here is another colony of P. armoricanus.

I cancel all excl. Pyrgus armoricanus. Mr. Beneš has re-evaluated these photos as undeterminable incl. last-year P. carthami .

I have returned to the same place on 24th May and all my Pyrgi excl. P. malvae are P. armoricanus:

Jiří Beneš has re-determined it to P. serratulae and asked me reference to my last year photos of "P. carthami" for revision ...

My determination has been confirmed by Jiří Beneš. It is Pyrgus armoricanus.

Can you confirm my determination of these skippers?

Possible dereminations are: P. armoricanus, P. alveus, P. trebevicensis.

I have snapped also "albino" Small Heath .

Thank you Guy, I have corrected the legend to "Pyrgus carthami".

It was difficult to snap the underside because the skippers turned the upperside against the sun - so I have succeeded in snapping underside but only in one photo and the wings are shone through.

Today I have taken a skipper and I am not sure if it is P. cartami or P. serratulae. Photos are here and further.

Can you help me with the identification, please?

I just have snapped (during the grass mowing) this Chequered Skipper in our garden!

This is why I have left out places with the nectaring plants, above all Ajuga.

Cold weather. Yesterday was raining the whole day and today in morning was temperature -3° C, currently is 9° C. It is hopeless to try go to snap butterflies but all the same I have found this one hiding on the dandelion anthodium in our garden.

Yesterday I have snapped Scarce Blue-tailed Damselfly - Ischnura pumilio in our garden. In this place (which name is "Vlčí jáma" - Wolf Hole, although wolves occur at least 50 km far in number of approx. 10 specimens :) ) I have snapped: - Pearl-bordered Fritillary - Broad-Bodied Chaser A...

Thanks, JKT, I have written the legend "Lythria cruentaria"

Last Saturday I have snapped this moth and identification of one is a problem for me. It resembles Ostrinia palustralis a piece but I see also some differences. Has anybody an idea?

Can anybody help me with this moth?

Seems like some moth of Adelidae for me (Adela reaumurella?)

Today we have a family trip to the upper end of Jankovice and in and around of the fire reservoir there were lots (hundreds) of common toads .
