Other Common Names
Parvula Skipper
Notes
This is quite a common butterfly, but easily overlooked because they’re small and they don’t exactly show off much. When I first started this project Sydney had some wet years and I saw quite a few parvula in the nearby bush reserve. However in subsequent dry seasons I didn’t see any. Since around 2020 we’ve had more rainfall and these little skippers are becoming more numerous again.
