Speckled Wood Butterfly

The Speckled Wood is a butterfly found in and on the borders of woodland throughout much of Europe from march till october, with usually 3 broods per year.

This species visits rarely flowers but feeds mainly on honey dew on the upper surface of oak, ash or hazel leaves.

It was difficult to shoot this butterfly because it was very windy that day, but I got him !

Dutch name : Bont Zandoogje
German name : Waldbrettspiel

    superbe ce tircis, je remarque que ce papillon se pose toujours sur des feuilles, je ne l'ai jamais vu sur une fleur, je ne sais pas pourquoi ?

    Einen freilebenden Schmetterling so schön abzubilden ist besonders schwierig, es ist Dir hier perfekt gelungen!
    Viele Grüße, Harald.

    I know it's very difficult to shoot a butterfly.
    But, you shoot a sharp and detailful pic and have a good compo. Nice!
