Field Notes

Description:

The Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is only one of the numerous "ringlet" butterflies in the tribe Satyrini.

Notes:

Couldn't get close to this butterfly, but there re so few butterflies around, I thought I'd include it in case someone can identify this very poor shot...

The wiki list are good and bad. Often they not complete and you have to do a lot of clicking to search. I knew the group of butterfly this one might be in, so that helped. It is a pretty little one even if it did hide from you. I do enjoy your photos and thank you for sharing.
wow, thanks gatorfellows. I saved that link for the Irish butterflies, though it's a pity there are no photos besides the names, for an ignoramus like me!
Here is the list page I used to look at Butterflies of Ireland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_butterflies_of_Ireland
