Field Notes

Description:

Beautiful brown butterfly with multi colored eyespots. This butterfly was very docile and let me get extremely close and take many photographs.

Habitat:

I spotted this butterfly in a large field. It was resting on an ammunition box and visited many of the clover flowers nearby while I observed it
