Ringlet
Aphantopus hyperantus
Adult Ringlets fly through damp grassland, woodland rides, and hedgerows during summer. They take nectar from flowers such as bramble and ragwort, often flying low before settling with closed wings. The dark brown wings bear pale-ringed eyespots that can startle or distract potential attackers.
