Common Ringlet

Common Ringlet
Coenonympha tullia
The Large Heath or Common Ringlet is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It flies in variety of grassy habitats, including roadsides, woodland edges and clearings, prairies, bogs, and arctic and alpine taiga and tundra. It is a poor flyer, but can sometimes be found along ditches seeking new grounds. It is common to northern Europe and Asia and across North America.
