Butterflies
Pygmy/Mediterranean Skipper (Gegenes sp.)
A small, brown/grey butterfly in the family Hesperiidae (Skipper butterflies)
The Pygmy Skipper (Gegenes pumilio) and the Mediterranean Skipper (Gegenes nostrodamus) so closely resemble each other, with the key differences being so variable and difficult to see, that it is nearly impossible to make a reliable identification for either species.
