Field Notes

Description:

"Brintesia circe reaches on average 65–80 millimetres of wingspan. Wings are mainly black or dark brown. They have a broad white band at the edge of the basal area of all wings and usually a second white streak on the lower wings. These butterflies usually rest on the branches of a tree, protected by their cryptic markings, but ready to take off and fly away when disturbed." ~wiki

Habitat:

spotted on the edge of a wooded area in central Italy
