Mallow Skipper (Carcharodus alceae)
A small, brown butterfly in the family Hesperiidae (Skipper butterflies)
The Mallow Skipper (Carcharodus alceae) is frequently encountered in Corfu but rarely in more than ones and twos. It has a very appealing deep brown colouring when fresh, but can rapidly develop a rather scruffy appearance.
