Lovely shot!!! But you might find that it is an "Essex Skipper" (Thymelicus lineola) aka "European Skipper".

oh, thanks for correcting me!
hehe it's very hard to determine the exact right species sometimes. i look at a lot of pictures and different online articles about creatures, but some of them really look very alike.
i do get it right most of the times though, but it's good to be able to upload these pictures and get answers

You are more than welcome!!!  Some species can be tricky.  I love it that you are so interested in this!!!  With the skippers, it's a bit more difficult here in the UK, as we also have the Small Skipper of which the wings are more similar to the Essex Skipper, but it is easy really as the Small Skipper does not have black tipped antennae!

hehe i'd like to know what i'm looking at. since that can give me more knowledge about the species, so that it can be easier for me to find and watch them again
thanks for explaining!
