Butterfly- Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus)

Familia: Satyridae - Genus: Aphantopus - Species: Aphantopus hyperantus

 

In central Europe this is a rather widespread and common species in mature deciduous woodlands. It is found as far south as northern Spain where I've never found it and northern Greece. It prefers sunny spots in woodland that is otherwise dark or with only dappled sunlight. It loves bramble blossom and can often be found in good numbers feeding at this plant.
