Magical Eyes - _TNY_9568
A surprise find while walking down towards the Jällviksbron bridge near the south end of the Mjällådalen nature reserve, this is the first (or possibly second) high brown fritillary (Fabriciana adippe) I've found.
A helpful expert pointed out that the two blueish-grey lines on the dorsal side of the wing are organs used to produce a scent which attarcts females so this is a male.
Looking at this one, I just can't get over how amazing those eyes look. I really hope I find one of these again and that it would be cool with me getting even closer to get a better shot of the eyes.
