The Meadow Brown is one of our commonest and most widespread butterflies and a familiar sight across the British Isles during the summer months. This is a brown butterfly with an orange patch on each wing surrounding a black eye spot with a single white 'pupil'. The amount of orange on the forewings and the number of black spots found on the underside of the hind wings can vary.
