Here's a spot I discovered while literally bashing trough a patch of forest:)
It is a hotspot for many hesperiids!Several rarities can be found there too!

The Awlet is the common Orange Awlet Burara harisa.

In the Great Orange Awlet the hindwing patch is solid (not streaky as here) and placed further in almost touching the cross-vein of the cellend.
