Ringlet - Aphantopus hyperantus
|
Family: Satyridae. Flight Time: June-August. Size: 40-48mm Altitude: 0-1600m
|
| This is a common Summer species in the UK. In flight they look much darker
than the other UK Satyrids. The characteristic underwing ocelli give this species its name. I actually used a flash for this one, rather changed the natural colours so I've adjusted the balance to get a genuine looking Ringlet. |
