(I am cross posting this).
I am just not sure. I read the differences between the 2, and still can not make up my mind what this one is. Does anybody know the name of this cutie? It was quite small 3/4 - 1 inch with it's wings spread.

Thought I had it as marbled white butterfly. Not so.

Common Checkered Skipper or Pyrgus communis. Cute little things, aren't they?
