Field Notes

Description:

An all brown butterfly with discreet, hardly noticeable circular orange markings toward the edge of wings. My best guess is that it belongs to Erebia genus; and would appreciate better insight...

Habitat:

Found on montane pastures in Jura mountain range, above the treeline at about 1600m of altitude; and in protected area of Natural Reserve.
