Le Silène est un grand papillon de couleur marron rayé d'une bande blanc crème submarginale rectiligne, avec un ocelle noir discrètement pupillé de blanc à l'apex des antérieures.
Il est reconnaissable en vol à son dessus brun et à la large bande blanc crème qui traverse les deux ailes. Au sol, il se pose avec les ailes repliées (très mimétique sur écorces, feuilles mortes...).
Le revers des antérieures est marron ocre et le revers des postérieures marbré de marron et de blanc, tous deux rayés d'une bande blanche. Un ocelle noir discrètement pupillé de blanc à l'apex des antérieures est bien visible sur le dessus comme sur le revers.
Brintesia circe reaches on average 65–80 millimetres (2.6–3.1 in) of wingspan. Wings are mainly black or dark brown. They have a broad white band at the edge of the basal area of all wings and usually a second white streak on the lower wings. The black eyespots on the underside of the upper wings have a white contour. Brintesia circe is quite similar to Hipparchia fagi, but in the last one the second white streak on the lowers wings is always missing and the eyespots has a yellow contour. These butterflies usually rest on the branches of a tree, protected by their cryptic markings, but ready to take off and fly away when disturbed.

trying macro in manual mode for the first time. at least this newly emerged butterfly was going nowhere until its wings hardened.
Meus amigos talvez fiquem chocados com esta imagem.
Estive pensando como nós que somos carnívoros não sentimos dó do boi ao ver um belo espeto de picanha, do porco ao ver aquela cena do leitao com a maçã na boca, dos galináceos diante de um belo frango assado, do peixe e dos mariscos naquela paelha, mas sentimos pena desta borboletinha na boca da temível aranha.
Será que estamos certos em usarmos animais nas nossas refeições? Será que é uma questão de sobrevivência?
Desculpe se estraguei seu almoço de domingo.
My friends perhaps are shocked with this image.
I was thinking like us that are carnivorous we didn't feel pity of the ox when seeing a beautiful sirloin spit, of the pig when seeing that scene of the pig with the apple in the mouth, of the gallinaceous ones before a beautiful roasted chicken, of the fish and of the shellfishes in that paella, but we felt feather of this butterfly in the mouth of the dreadful spider.
Will it be that are right in we use animals in our meals? Will it be that is a survival subject?
Excuse if I destroyed your Sunday lunch.
Spring azure butterfly. Not the best picture, I would have preferred the 'head on', but am more 'proud' that I was able to creep up to an inch and half of it with the Laowa 25mm!
Another weekend chasing butterflies! This image has a bit static feeling about it, but it is a live butterfly and I like how the details of the antennae can be seen here. The wings are actually moving a bit, but not because it was flying but because of wind.
Many, many red admirals out this weekend both in the neighborhood and at the arboretum. I'm still sorting through photos, but this one caught my eye.
Gray sail against the sky,
Gray butterfly!
Have you a dream for going.
Or are you the blind wind's blowing?
