Long tailed skipper

Frankly, I am just not qualified to ID those, there are so many and they all look very similar.
There seems to be a new species coming up every 2-3 weeks and it is tricky to say the least.
So your help is appreciated.

    They are very similar. Looking at the other photo I think it is an Urbanus simplicius. Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago
