Eyed Brown (LEP158) Lethe eurydice

 

     The pair of Eyed Browns shown perching on a sedge head, are typical satyrs.  They occur in moist meadows of the Northeast and Midwest.  The upper side presents a warm cocoa-brown aspect with lighter tan patches and blue-black, white-centered, yellow-rimmed eyespots.  The pattern repeats below but the color is darker brown with still darker lines and more distinct eyespots.
