Stock Photo: Small Tortoiseshell At Oxburgh
ID 251037100 © Sandraipswich | Megapixl.com
The small tortoiseshell is a colourful Eurasian butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Adults feed on nectar and may hibernate over winter; in warmer climates they may have two broods in a season. While the dorsal surface of the wings is vividly marked, the ventral surface is drab, providing camouflage.
