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. The two forms gradually intergrade into each other. The speckled wood also occurs in North Africa and on the Atlantic island of Madeira.

Salut Joska,
Ce mai poate fotografia omul prin brazi ! Excelenta captura. Sper ca saracul fluture nu s-a intepat in acele bradului. Glumesc, normal.
O seara frumoasa,

Iarasi dai lovitura cu o captura exceptionala.
Ma tot uit la pozele tale si ma gandesc daca doar lentila ta este cauza, insa cred ca meritul de baza este al celui ce manuieste atat de perfect aparatul.

Hello Jozsef,
A very fine and natural picture of Pararge aegeria, shown in a pleasing composition and with excellent sharpness. I like the fine colors and the difference in texture between pine-needles and wings of the butterfly. Fine light too. Very well done.
Kind regards
Anne
