THE HERMIT BUTTERFLY Chazara briseis

 

·         The origin of the vernacular name of the Hermit Chazara briseis is something of a mystery, but butterflies need to be called something! This is a Southern European species, and these rather poor-quality photographs were taken back in the pre-digital days of transparency film. The second photograph may be of a female as the characteristic dark marking on the leading edge of the hindwing is relatively pale. The photographs were taken in the South of France.
