The Ringlet, Aphantopus hyperantus

The Ringlet is one of our more common butterflies. It produces just one brood per year, the larval food plants being Cocksfoot and other grasses. The larvae grow from August, hibernate as larvae, then make the rest of their growth in the following spring. The adults are most common in July, around field margins and in meadows. The few remaining adults on the wing into August can be looking very worn.
