UFO Skipper

[horace2264]

Shot this skipper which I am not able to identify. I could only manage 3 shots before it flew away.
Hopefully Dr Seow has enough to work on for its ID. :)

[Psyche]

Female Borbo cinnara.

The HW spots in space 2, 3, & 6 is characteristic for Borbo including several African species.

In Borbo bevani (many authors feel Pseudoborbo is unnecessary ) the FW spots are neatly rounded.
Pix 3 shows the typical crescwntic spot of B. cinnara.

Wear has caused the colour to appear rather different.

TL Seow :Cheers.

Thanks, Dr Seow for the skipper ID. :)
