Hesperiini

The Hesperiini or branded grass skippers[1] are a tribe in the Hesperiinae subfamily of skipper butterflies. They are known as branded grass skippers because all the males in this tribe feature a black diagonal brand of scales on their forewings that exude pheromones to attract females.[1]

gollark: Because modern phones are terrible for repairibility (how do you spell that) I just buy cheap used ones every year and a half or so. The PinePhone might be better for this, but getting one in the UK will probably be annoying.
