Ringlet/Aphantopus hyperantus/luktgräsfjäril. Värmland, Sweden (5 July 2025). The ringlet is another one of those butterflies that often goes unnoticed at first glance. Its dark, velvety wings may seem rather plain, but a closer look reveals the beautiful ringed eyespots that give the species its name. Unlike many other butterflies, ringlets remain active even on overcast days and are especially fond of damp meadows, woodland edges and flowering brambles.
