[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Speckled Wood (Pararge aegeria) is a butterfly found in and on the borders of woodland throughout much of Europe. In Northern and Eastern Europe where subspecies P. a. tircis occurs it is brown with pale yellow or cream spots and darker upperwing eyespots. In southwestern Europe the subspecies P. a. aegeria has a colour which is more orange in the background; the hindwing underside eyespots are reddish brown rather than black or dark gray. (Wikipedia)
--------------------------------------------------------
Le Tircis (Pararge aegeria) est un insecte européen de l'ordre des lépidoptères, famille des Nymphalidae. On le rencontre sur tout le continent européen à l'exception de l'extrême nord.
On rencontre cette espèce dans les clairières, les lisières de forêt, les haies, les buissons. Le papillon se tient au sol, sur les plantes basses ou sur les feuilles d’arbres dans les taches de soleil des clairières, le long des chemins forestiers et des lisières. (Wikipedia)

Hello Catherine,
A fine capture of the Speckled Wood ssp. tircis taken from an excellent POV with good focusing on the wings. Nice composition with the OOF natural Bg that makes it show up well.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Ivan
