Hypocysta metirius
A small yellowish brown butterfly with an eye spot on each back wing. Saw very few butterflies at this time of year. The Common Brown Ringlet (Hypocysta metirius) is a species of butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. The wingspan is about 30 mm. Adults are brown, with an orange patch on each hindwing ending in an eyespot. The underside of the wings is brown with two eyespots on the hindwings.
Sandy coastal fire trail through melaleuca and banksia. Last photo shows the habitat.
