Description
Ringlet Butterfly feeding on a buttercup flower in the Pentland Hills, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) - the rings give this butterfly its common name. The uppersides are a uniform chocolate brown and provide a striking contrast with the delicate white fringes found on the wing edges.
The dark colouring also allows it to quickly warm up - this butterfly being one of the few that flies on overcast days.
