[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Coenonympha hero - family Nymphalidae.

In my country it's rather rare species. It's present in eastern part of Poland on wet meadows or peatbogs in June. Also the forest borders are good place to find this species.

It's rather small butterfly - the wingspan is about 35mm. The butterfly has very attractive back side of the wings. Picture presents typical butterfly rest position.
Scarce Heath is rather shy species - I've a bit of luck because the weather was not perfect and this butterfly just sitting in the grass and was not active at all.

Caterpilars can be found on different types of grasses.

Lovely butterfly with gorgeous colors and markings, Chris.
The details are stunning, and the composition is beautiful.

Beautifull capture,colours stand out well against background. I like the frame too. Maybe the edges of butterfly could be sharper.

Hallo Chris, I overlooked this beautiful picture of a species which is also rare in Germany. So, the points arrive with a little retardation. Light and colours are excellent.
