Lulworth skipper caterpillars live in the warmest zone of a grass clump, at a height of . The pupal stage lasts for about two weeks, from the beginning of June onwards, until late July. It is formed inside a loose "nest" of silk and grass that is spun deep inside a tussock of tor grass. Imago begin to emerge in the early middle of July and finish emerging in the middle of September. Typically, they will live for five to ten days—the normal lifespan for a non-hibernating butterfly of the Lulworth's seasonal stage. They fly only in strong sunshine and tend to
Day Skipper during the practical course. Some sailing Schools holding RYA recognition may allow Day Skipper training without first taking the shore-based course, if the student can navigate up to Day Skipper standards. However, theory knowledge will still be tested while out on the water. RYA Recognised sailing Schools are displayed on the RYA website. The theory part of the Day Skipper qualification is either a shorebased (classroom) course that normally takes 36 hours, including an exam. Alternatively, this can be completed online by distance learning which offers greater flexibility in study. Course Content includes: The practical element of the day skipper
