Large Wall Brown

A medium-sized brown butterfly with large apical eyespots and warm orange patches on the forewings. It frequents rocky terrain and often basks on stone walls and boulders.

💡

Did You Know?

Unlike most satyrines, it actively seeks out the hottest, most sun-baked rock faces for basking.

Banded Treebrown

A shade-loving brown butterfly with a distinctive pale band across the forewing and a series of small eyespots on the underside. It has a slow, bobbing flight in deep forest shade.

💡

Did You Know?
