Coenonympha pamphilus
The Small Heath is a lateral basker, only ever resting with its wings closed and angled at 90° to the sun. The butterfly loosely resembles a small Meadow Brown, but the brown colour of the wings appears noticeably paler in flight. The wingspan is 24-30 mm.
Clear in a pine tree forest.
