LARGE SKIPPER

This large skipper butterfly is feeding on bramble nectar.  Then she will be off to lay some more eggs singly, each one on a blade of grass.

 You can see her eyes, her antennae and her long tongue or proboscis, looking like a whip coming out of the front of her head as she sucks the sweet juices from the flower.
