Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus)


It is just my perception, with no data to support it, that the ringlet may be being seen more frequently now than it was, say, thirty years ago. 
The ringlet is seen mainly in near lush vegetation in damp, shady areas in woodlands, along hedgerows and riverbanks. Being mainly dark brown with just a series of light brown rings on its underwings it cannot really be confused with any other species if seen at rest. 

The ringlet has just a four week flight period around the latter part of June and in to early July.
