Incognito Mode - _TNY_9380

The European peacock (Aglais io) is one of the species which braves the Swedish winter as an adult and when hibernating through that, looking as inconspicuous as possible is a definite plus.

 

This is the reason the species has a bright red dorsal side of the wings with large blue eye spots - and the ventral one looks like this with a matte and somewhat ragged dark brown colour.

 

This is a full 50 megapixel shot at 1.8:1 magnification so you shold be able to zoom in and see some nice detail on those hairy eyes.
