Lulworth skipper  (Thymelicus acteon)

Found in some areas of south and central Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa. In Britain the Lulworth skipper is largely restricted to coastal areas of south Dorset, centred on the village of Lulworth, colonies are also known from the Isle of Portland and west Dorset (3).

The Lulworth skipper inhabits sheltered or south-facing slopes in unimproved calcareous grasslands, such as chalk downland and coastal grasslands (3). Tall clumps of the sole foodplant tor-grass (Brachypodium pinnatum) are required (3).
