Oriental meadow brown

Hyponephele lupine (Costa, 1776), aka the Oriental meadow brown or branded meadowbrown, a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.

 

I found this one in September at Athalassa Park in Nicosia, Cyprus. For those interested in the technical details, this is a handheld shot, taken with Nikon 750 and Nikon 105 mm f/2.8 VR. Aperture was set at f/13, shutter speed at 1/200s and ISO at 100, plus a diffused SB-900 flash.
