Meeting a camouflaged butterfly in the dark of night,, Evening Brown

​
​How are you all? I hope everyone is well.

On April 25th at around 12:30am, while walking near my house, I came across a strange experience. Suddenly, a beautiful butterfly came into view in the light of a torch. It is difficult to see them during the day, because they hide themselves behind dry leaves in such a way that it is almost impossible to catch them with the naked eye.

​This is called the Evening Brown butterfly. The meaning of their name is understood only when the sun sets and darkness approaches. They cannot tolerate the harsh sun of the day at all, so they rest in the shade of bushes. But at night, they come out on their own.
​The most surprising thing is the round spots on its wings. When the light of the torch fell on it, it seemed that many small eyes were looking at me. This defense mechanism of nature is really strange. These fake eyes work great to scare away the enemy. Seeing this peaceful insect sitting quietly at night filled my heart with joy. I took out my phone and quickly took some pictures. It is such small but beautiful moments in nature that make our lives joyful.
