Ringlet
Aphantopus hyperantus
The Ringlet is a very dark, velvety-brown butterfly at first but becomes paler and duller as it ages. The underwings have several black circular spots with cream surrounds and white central spots. They favour lush, long, damp grass and fly in overcast conditions and even light rain. A widespread resident seen all over the county where conditions are suitable.
