Moving Iris
A Ringing beauty....
A Common four ring butterfly (Ypthima hiebneri) on a grass blade.
These low flying butterflies are a dull brown gray, but they are adorned with black and yellow eye spots that are used to confuse predators. It looks almost the same as the common three ring, but instead of three eye spots on the underside hind wing, it has four. Like other ring butterflies, its host plant is grasses.
