Thymelicus lineola - European skipper

in #ntopaz5 years ago

ntopaz-image-0I photographed this butterfly on the outskirts of a small village in the Rivne region, Ukraine.

If I didn’t know the name of this butterfly, then the first thing that came to my mind is that this hairy butterfly looks like a little bear, and its wings, when folded, are very similar to the plumage of an arrow, or rocket .

But, the entomologists who gave the name to this species of butterflies thought differently.

A thick head became the basis of the name and a strip on the wings, as a lowercase symbol - a dash, fixed this name.

The common name for a butterfly is Skipper in English.
As you know, skippers control ships, and, dots and dashes, these are the most famous symbols of communication between ships in Morse code.

I made such an assumption, I'm not sure that it is true, but it seems to be true.
