The Woodland Brown (Lopinga achine) is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. The species is widely distributed, but uncommon and local in continental Europe. Most of the suitable habitats for the species have been transformed to gardening. The Woodland Brown may be found in warm openings of damp unmanaged mature forests.

$Plebejus argus is a scarce resident in the Netherlands. The distribution shrunk during the last century. It is no longer found in the coastal dunes, except for those on the Frisian Islands.\nThe species is classified as vulnerable on the 2006 Red List. This is an European Species with a increase in the Southern Parts of Europe.\nHabitat: This Blue butterfly occurs on both dry and wet Heathland, often in the transition zone between the wet and drier parts. The habitat has short, sparse vegetation and patches of bare ground, with young seedlings of Calluna vulgaris or Erica tetralix, the preferred larval food plants.\nFlight Season: The species flies in one generation from the end of June until early August and hibernates as an egg. Various ants, notable Lasius species, are attracted to the caterpillars and pupae.\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$

$Appearance:\nIt has a rusty orange colour to the wings, upper body and the tips of the antennae. The body is silvery white below and it has a wingspan of 25–30 mm. This butterfly is very similar in appearance to the Essex skipper (Thymelicus lineola). In the small skipper, the undersides of the tips of the antennae are yellow orange, whereas they are black in the Essex skipper. The black area on the lower edge of the upper wings also differs. Like the other orange grass skippers the male has a distinctive black stripe made up of scent scales.\n\nLife cycle and food plants:\nEggs are laid loosely inside grass sheaths of the caterpillars food plants from July to August. The newly hatched caterpillars eat their own eggshell before entering hibernation individually in a protective cocoon of a grass sheath sealed with silk. In the spring the caterpillar begins feeding. The favoured food plant is Yorkshire fog (Holcus lanatus), although other recorded food plants include timothy (Phleum pratense), creeping soft grass (Holcus mollis), false brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis) and cock's foot (Dactylis glomerata). The caterpillars pupate near the base of the food plant in June with the first adults on the wing at the end of June, a week or two before the first Essex skippers. They are strongly attracted to purple flowers such as thistles and knapweeds.\n\nDistribution:\nThis butterfly's range includes much of Europe (east to the Urals, including Ireland, Britain and Scandinavia, and includes north Africa and the Middle East. It is typically occurring where grass has grown tall.\n\nThis Picture is made during a Long Weekend in the South of Belgium in June 2019.$

Macro photograph of a white and yellow butterfly perched on a thin vertical branch. The butterfly is positioned at the center of the frame, while the slender branch extends vertically across the image. The shallow depth of field creates a blurred background, drawing attention to the butterfly and the branch. The photograph captures the intricate details of the butterfly's wings and the delicate structure of the branch. With its vertical orientation, the composition provides ample copyspace on both sides, offering design flexibility for various creative purposes.
