The Maniola jurtina or
Meadow Brown is one of the more common European butterflies and on the terrain of casa rural El Paraje it is well represented as well. It´s Spanish name is
Loba and in Dutch
Bruin zandoogje. Last week we took a photograph looking one in the eyes and today we were lucky to take a picture of two of them together. We also found out that the one on the last photograph that is somewhat brighter orange, is actually considered a subspecies. According to Matt Rowling this subspecies called
Maniola jurtina hispulla flies in Spain, North Africa and southeren France. He writes that it has orange markings in the underside hindwing post discal band.
