What’s not to love about a butterfly whose colour is described as chocolate … except that you can’t eat it.

Its rich brown colour enables the Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) to warm itself more quickly than light-coloured butterflies, which means it can be seen bobbing its way through the long grass even on overcast days.

The Ringlet is named for the marks on its underwings, the circles of white, black and caramel, which can vary considerably in size and shape.
