Meadow Browns with double eye-spot
Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2012 3:17 pm
On Thursday 5/7/12 I visited Brampton Wood in Cambs. I photoed a few Meadow Browns, one of which was the attached:
Presumably the double eyespot and the dark spot beneath is some form of abberation? I notice that on your Meadow Brown page there is an image of a similar individual in the abberation section and there is also one in the 2nd image in the main section (pair in cop, Vince Massimo 5-Sep-2009)
How common is this? Is there any regional variation? I haven't noticed this before (or haven't being paying enough attention!)
Best Regards
