The carline skipper (''Pyrgus carlinae'') is a butterfly and a species of the skipper (family Hesperiidae). It is only found in southwestern areas of the Alps and can be an abundant species within this restricted range. As with most ''Pyrgus'' species, the carline skipper can be difficult to identify in the field. The dark brown upper forewings are marked with relatively small white markings but can usually be separated from the olive skipper (''Pyrgus serratulae'') by a c-shaped white mark close to the costa and the reddish-brown, not olive green, colour of the under hindwings, with a large square pale spot close to the margin. The wingspan is 26–28 mm. The adults are on the wing from June to August. The larval food plant is spring cinquefoil. == External links == * (Barcodes of life ) * (European Butterflies and Moths ) * (Fauna Europaea ) * (Guy Padfield's European Butterfly Page ) * (Lepiforum.de ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carline skipper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
