picture info	Carterocephalus Palaemon ''Carterocephalus palaemon'', the chequered skipper or arctic skipper, not to be confused with the large chequered skipper, is a small woodland butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. This butterfly can live in grasslands. The upperside of the butterfly is brown with orange spots and on its underside the chequered skipper is orange with brown spots.

The butterfly is on the wing from June to August, depending on the location. The larvae feed on ''Eriophorum'', ''Poa annua'', ''Calamagrostis canescens'', ''Brachypodium'' and ''Molinia'' species (including ''Molinia coerulea''). As can be seen, the butterfly has a very distinctive and attractive underside but a drab upperside (which is rarely seen, as it usually settles with wings closed).

The flight is just as distinctive and indeed provides immediate identification of the species: ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
