Wall brown

Although superficially similar to the speckled wood, the wall brown prefers open areas, above all waste- and bare ground, stony areas with little vegetation. It flies more quickly and when it rests on the ground it usually closes its wings and uses its cryptic coloration to ‘disappear’. It flies from February-March until well into the autumn. It hibernates as a larva.
Scientific name: Lasiommata megera
