omg! it's true!! both species are very similar! I don't have a butterflies guide, so I try to find the species with the help of my friend Google. And this is not very efficient. Haha! Thank you again! I will modify the spotting now. :)

Little correction Maniola jurtina in both female and male has sings/ spotts on the lower wings, and this is too small to be a meadow brown, this is Small Heath (Coenonympha pamphilus) ;)
