Field Notes

Description:

Spring brood males have very feint markings and often lack the single spot on each forewing, whereas summer brood males have more pronounced markings, this would explain why in photo 4 the 2 white dots on the forewing are not as marked as in a later brood. commonly found across the British Isles in damp grassland and woodlands.

Habitat:

Seen in Potteric carr nature reserve, owned by the Yorkshire wildlife trust
